The Council considered a report (Agenda Item 16) considering the implementation of the contractual requirement for an annual price review for 2014 for Parkwood Community Leisure to come into effect from the 01^st January 2014.

MOTION: Proposed by Councillor Hilary Cole and seconded by Councillor Virginia von Celsing:

That the Council:

“approves the proposed increase in Fees and Charges for the Leisure Management Contract”.

Councillor Cole noted that it was a contractual requirement for Parkwood Community Leisure to introduce any increase in fees and charges in January each year and therefore this item did not form part of the annual fees and charges report agreed in March each year. The proposed increase reflected an average increase of 3% across the contract as a whole.

The Motion was put to the meeting and duly RESOLVED.
