·         the fees and charges for Sayers Croft Field Centre set out in Appendix 7 of the report effective from 1^st September 2015.

Reason for the Decision

Under the sports and leisure management contract provisions for the indoor and outdoor leisure sites, an annual review of fees and charges for services is required to be undertaken by the Council for implementation by the contractor from 1^st January each year. The Community Use Agreement for Academy Sport at Westminster Academy and for the St Augustine’s sports facilities ensures that the Council retains control over fees and charges for the sites subject to approval from the established ‘Community Management Group’ at each school.

The fees and charges for the ‘in house managed’ Sayers Croft Field Centre are reviewed annually to ensure services remain attractive to customers and that increases in operational costs are contained through increases in fees and charges in order to meet the associated revenue budgets.
