As per 18th October 2023 Committee report we
believe that the recommendation to develop a restoration approach
in partnership with stakeholders is currently the only viable
option to achieving all the following;

·      
Align with the charitable objectives of the Graves Park
Charity.

·      
 Meet the initial commissioning brief
objectives: Objective 1 - 'improve facilities for the city’.
Objective 2 - 'maximise revenue for each
facility’.

·      
Provide a café in Graves Park

Alternatives
Considered and Rejected

 

 

9.4.1

This report was produced to
provide an update on progress made towards the recommendations made
in the Rose Garden Café October 18th 2023 report. The only alternative option would have
been to not produce an update report in September and wait for the
next committee meeting, which was discounted by
Officers.
