Decision details

To receive a report on the heads of terms agreed with the 1^st Sarisbury Scout Group for a lease of a tennis court adjacent to the Burridge Village Hall on which they will provide their new scout hut.

The 1^st Sarisbury Scout Group were previously resident in the former Coldeast Hospital Community Hall but vacated the property when it became dilapidated.  The Group moved to Burridge Village Hall where they hire the facilities two nights a week and also have a container on the site which they use to store their equipment.

Since vacating the Coldeast Community Hall, the group have been looking for a permanent home. Consideration was given to incorporating a scout hall into the plans for the sports changing facilities on Coldeast when proposals were being developed for the new Holly Hill Leisure Centre.  However, the group were unable to raise sufficient funds and so the project was not progressed.

The site of a tennis court adjacent to Burridge Village Hall has been identified, subject to planning, for the location of a permanent home for the scouts.  The Executive briefing paper sets out the heads of terms agreed with the scouts for a lease of the tennis court on which they will provide their new scout hut.

RESOLVED that the Executive agrees the Heads of Terms, as set out at paragraph 6 of the report, for a lease of the tennis court adjacent to the Burridge Village Hall for the location of a scout hut which will become the permanent home of the 1^st Sarisbury Scout Group.
