QUESTION NO. 22

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

To ask the Chief Executive for an report into the Community centre review to be carried, out when will this be done and would he consider a subcommittee with some elected members on it as part of this review?

REPLY:

As part of the proposed review of the operation and governance of community facilities that has been discussed at the Social, Community and Equality SPC, a survey of the use and management of existing facilities is underway.  The survey returns will be analysed and will inform how the Community Development team can support best practice in governance, management development and centre use.  This will include developing a management network as a forum for training, development and peer support for community facilities and will inform the approach to enhanced centre governance management and support in line with the increased funding provided in this regard in the Council's 2022 Budget.

The SPC has agreed that it will establish a working group from its membership to oversee this review.
