The Chair reported that:
- The Council’s Property Services officers were putting in place an agreement for West of England Sports Centre (Wesport) to run several tennis courts within the area, namely Alice Park, Sydney Gardens and Keynsham Memorial Park.
- Wesport would promote the tennis facilities, ensuring they were well maintained and would also provide a sinking fund for the replacement of the courts in the years ahead.
- There was a requirement in the Tennis Courts lease to the Council that any occupations granted to a third party should be by way of a lease.
- Council officers were requesting the authority of the Sub-Committee to give Bath and North East Somerset Council authorisation to grant Wesport the right to manage the tennis courts up until 31st March 2026 by way of a Concession Agreement.
It was noted that Wesport were currently running the tennis courts. Marie LaTrobe-Bateman provided positive feedback on the quality of the tennis court provision.
RESOLVED – that Bath and North East Somerset Council be given authorisation to grant Wesport the right to manage Alice Park tennis courts up until 31st March 2026 by way of a Concession Agreement.
