Issue - decisions

Members considered a report that analysed performance by reference to the service plan, the budget and the performance indicators for all of the services funded through the leisure budget.

The report also detailed a number of suggested service cuts to offset a projected overspend of £196k  in Sports & Active Leisure services.

That the Executive Member be advised to:

(i)                 Note the performance of services within the directorate funded through the Leisure & Heritage budget;

(iii)             Agree to fund any remaining budget shortfall up to a maximum of £95k from the Library Bookstock budget in 2006/07 with the recommendation to the Executive that this cost be met from contingency.

Decision of the Executive Member

RESOLVED:       That the advice of the Advisory Panel be accepted and endorsed.
