Decision details

This report sets out the proposed Cooperation Agreement between the Council and the Board of Trustees of the Gateway Centre to explore the re-development of the Centre with a view to providing an improved community venue for residents of London Road/Snow Hill and through which a range of services could be provided by the Council and other partners

(1) To ASK the Strategic Director (People) to explore a possible cooperation agreement with the Snow Hill Gateway Trust; and

(2) To ASK the Strategic Director (People) to consult community groups in the Snow Hill/London Road area about interest in developing a community venue.

The Council remains of the view that the move of youth provision onto the Snow Hill estate could enhance the delivery of youth work in this area of the City.  On this basis we are keen to continue to explore possible community partnerships that might facilitate this move.

A jointly run venue for community services would promote and strengthen services in the area as well as representing an effective and efficient way to jointly serve the needs of the area.
