Purpose

To obtain Member approval for the updated
terms and conditions for venue hire as set out in appendix 1-8 to
this report.

Decision

The Leader of the Council approves the updated
terms and conditions set out at appendix 1-8 to this report to be
effective from 1 April 2024.

Reasons for the decision

To ensure transparency for customers using the
service and ensure that the terms and conditions are up to date so
that they can offer effective protection for both the Council and
the customers using the premises for venue hire.

Alternative options considered

Not to approve the recommendation and updated
terms and conditions and remain using the existing terms and
conditions. This is not recommended as the current terms and
conditions are outdated and not fit for purpose.
