Report number DOS282 by the Management Accountant, Business Management Services.                                              (attached)

DECISION:

That the Cabinet resolves that the lease for the facilities be terminated and seek approval from Council to adjust the budget and policy framework to enable this decision to be implemented.

Considerations/Reasons for Decision

(1)               Report number DOS282 by the Management Accountant detailing the current usage and costs of two Universal Superloos (USLs) in Stamford and costs that would be incurred on early termination of the lease;

(2)               Recommendations from the Environment DSP;

(3)               Best value review of 1998 when the District Council disposed of similar facilities, the USLs were not terminated because of a clause that prohibited termination in the first five years;

(4)               Newly opened attended toilet in Red Lion Square and the Council’s policy of one facility for each of the towns within the District, of which Stamford is already in excess.
