Decision details

Having received a confidential report and a presentation by the Chair of the

Overview & Scrutiny Business Panel, Councillor Bill Brown, the Mayor &

Cabinet accepted the request the future of the Leisure Services Contract

beyond the initial 2 years be determined by elected members in good time to

ensure alternative recommendations can be made, including being taken in

house, before any decision is made. If the new provider does not provide a

good standard of leisure services for the residents of Lewisham, this authority

would be prepared to consider alternative arrangements for leisure provision.

Officers should also ensure that the leisure contract is subject to EU

legislative provision.

RESOLVED that the referral made by the Overview & Scrutiny Business

Panel be accepted.
