Issue - decisions

To allocate two concessionary Days to community organisations under the terms of the Barbican Lease.
Background:
The report setting out the criteria for use of the concessionary days is attached.
An application process was run inviting applications for the remaining concessionary days in 2016 and 2017. By the closing date of 27 November, 2015 five applications had been received. These were considered against the criteria. Two were considered to have fully met the Council’s criteria for the allocation of a concessionary day:
• One in 2016 for “A Night to Remember” - a community show aiming to raise awareness of dementia
• One in 2017 for “Rock Challenge” - a performing arts initiative delivering a positive lifestyle message to young people between 11-18 in school or college
It is proposed to run the next advertisement for Barbican concessionary days in October / November 2016.
