Sub-Lease of Great Wyrley Library

The committee approved the sub-letting of premises at Unit 22 Quinton Court Shopping Centre, Great Wyrley to Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT). The term of the sub-lease will expire on or just before 23 September 2029.

The final details of the sub-letting have been delegated to the Assistant Director for Commercial and Assets, including charging a market rent and agreeing a repayment mechanism to the sub-tenant.

Lease for the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (Job Centre)- Peel & Walton Buildings, Stafford

The committee approved the lease of premises at Peel and Walton Buildings in Stafford to the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities for a further term of one year, expiring on 7 April 2026. The lease will be excluded from the security of tenure provisions contained in the Landlord and Tenant Act 19541.

The final terms have been delegated to the Assistant Director for Commercial and Assets to approve.


  1. The Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 gives business tenants the right to request a new tenancy when their current one ends. Excluding the lease from these provisions means the tenant does not have the right to renew the lease.
