The Head of Community Services submitted a report which established clear criteria and processes for the award of a community lease and to approve terms for new leases for Bullingdon, Headington, Risinghurst and Florence Park Community Centres

Councillor Dee Sinclair, Board Member for Culture and Communities presented the report.

The Board asked questions to satisfy themselves that these leases presented no disadvantage either to the community associations named in the report or other community associations. The Board agreed to delegate authority to the Head of Community Services to include for Bullingdon CA break clauses contained in other protected tenancy leases as deemed appropriate and feasible, and report back to the Board
