6 CONSIDERATION OF SURRENDER OF LEASE TO BABERGH DISTRICT COUNCIL IN ITS CAPACITY AS LANDLORD OF THE HADLEIGH SWIMMING POOL AND OF ENTRY INTO AGREEMENT FOR SURRENDER OF LEASE (Exempt information by virtue of Paragraph 3 of Part 1)

The Head of Corporate Services submitted a report (Paper G32) advising the Committee that a decision had already been taken that it is in the best interests of the Hadleigh and District Swimming Pool Trust for the pool to be run by the South Suffolk Leisure Trust.  Accordingly since April 2006 South Suffolk Leisure has been granted a series of temporary licences to occupy the facility, to enable it to manage the pool pending negotiations as to the form of the surrender and new lease.

The Committee were requested to consider the final forms of the surrender and the agreement for surrender and lease (Appendices A and B to Paper G32) and determine whether entry into such agreements in those terms is in the best interests of the Charity. 

RESOLVED

(1) That the covenants set out in Paragraph 3.3 of Paper G32 be accepted, and, subject to the consent of the Charity Commission, the Agreement for Surrender and Lease and the Surrender in the forms attached to Paper G32 be accepted.

(2) That the Solicitor to the Trust take the necessary steps to obtain the Charity Commission’s consent to the disposal of land.

The business of the meeting was concluded at 10.30 am.

Chairman
