Minutes:
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.
