Purpose:
The Council was looking to assign the lease that was in place with Fusion Lifestyle for the operation and management of the sports park to Oxford United FC. This is to help improve sport and community outcomes for the wider community. It would be on broadly similar terms and there will be a community use agreement put in place to help protect and develop community sport use.
Decision was made to assign the lease for Oxford Sports Park from Fusion Lifestyle to Oxford United FC.
A new management agreement has been drafted to support the ongoing management and review of operations at the site.
Decision:
Decision was made to assign the lease for Oxford Sports Park from Fusion Lifestyle to Oxford United FC.
Alternative options considered:
The other option considered was to retain the existing lease with Fusion Lifestyle. As was highlighted in the Cabinet report this was not considered to be the most suitable option going forward both in terms of financial return and operational management of the site.
