Decision details

Altrincham Health and Wellbeing Hub - Lease

Decision Maker: Executive Member for Economy and Regeneration

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Decision:

 

1. That approval be given for Trafford Council to enter into a 10 year lease from NHS Property Services for accommodation at Altrincham Hub and be party to a Licence to Underlet between Canada Life, NHS Property Service and Trafford Council.

 

2. That further approval be given to the Council to grant a subsequent Licence to Occupy to Manchester University NHS Trust to share occupation of the leased accommodation

 

3. That the Corporate Director for Place be authorised to agree any minor amendments that may be required to be made to the heads of terms in order to facilitate the grant of a lease. 

 

4. That the Corporate Director of Governance and Community Strategy be authorised to enter into any legal documents required to facilitate the appropriate transactions.

Reasons for the decision:

The various teams could continue to occupy space at Trafford Town Hall and Sale Waterside. However, the proposal of taking a lease of accommodation at Altrincham Health Hub provides the opportunity for NHS partners to work more efficiently with each other, in the community and further support the other health providers that are located in the same premises.

Alternative options considered:

The only other option available to Trafford Council is to accommodate the staff in Operational Council Buildings such as Sale Waterside and Trafford Town Hall however, this will mean that the Council will considerably limit its ability to implement new ways of working for its own staff.
