To consider a report of the Executive Member for Culture and Leisure.

The Executive Member for Culture and Leisure submitted a report which set out the detail of the Long Term Security of Tenure (LTST) process and sought Executive support with the process of awarding LTST to community sports clubs in Trafford. An opportunity was provided for Members to raise questions on the report, which centred on the applicability of the scheme and arrangements for potential variation of access, which would be set out in any lease arrangement.

(1)       That the LTST and process of disposal as outlined in the report be supported.

(2)       That it be acknowledged that the proposed disposals will be at undervalue but will deliver social benefits to the local communities.

(3)       That decision making on future LTST applications be delegated to the Corporate Director, Place, including the grant of leases of up to 25 years at undervalue, under the terms of the report.

(4)       That authority to negotiate and agree the terms of the leases be delegated to the Corporate Director, Place.

(5)       That authority be delegated to the Corporate Director, Governance and Community Strategy to complete any documents required to give effect to the proposals contained in the report.
