Purpose

To support the implementation of the Isle of
Wight Dementia Strategy 2022-2025, the Council’s Corporate
Leadership Team have approved in principle the use of the Parklands
site in Cowes as a dementia hub for the Island.

The hub will provide an environment where services can work in an
integrated way providing opportunities to deliver against many of
the commitments within the new dementia strategy.

The report is seeking Cabinet approval to award a 25 year lease of
Parklands to The Alzheimer Café IW to enable them to develop
it as a dementia hub. This lease will be subject to the allocation
of capital to enable the refurbishment works to be undertaken, with
the lease commencing from the point that capital allocation is
confirmed.
