Full council record
Purpose
There has been a long-standing
arrangement that during the summer months (April – September)
sites will remain open to 8pm on a Thursday. In the context of wider service and usage these
extended hours are not well used; repeated communications through a
variety of channels have promoted the service, but it remains
underutilised. As part of the corporate
approach to deliver authority wide savings it is proposed that late
night opening is stopped in 2024 and a saving of £27k is used
to meet pressures elsewhere in the service
