The Director, Regeneration and Housing submitted a report which proposed that the new lease of the Pathways Workshop should be below market rent.

The Executive Board Member for Finance, Asset Management and Public Health presented the report and recommended it to the Board on the basis that this was another way in which the Council could support the work of the community and voluntary sector in the city.

The City Executive Board resolved to:

1.            agree a new lease to be granted at the Pathways Workshop at below market rent; and

2.            delegate authority to the Executive Director of Regeneration and Housing to vary these lease terms to accommodate any particular concerns raised by the parties where this is without prejudice to the Council’s position.
