Further to Minute No. 37 of the meeting of the Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Families Services, held on 19th September, 2012, Councillor Lakin, Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Families Services, introduced a report by the Strategic Director of Children and Young People’s Services, which detailed a request for an agreement be entered in to with Wickersley School and Sports College in relation to the use of resources located at Ulley Activity Centre. The agreement would enable the provision to be retained for the benefit of young people within Rotherham. 

The financial information and risks and uncertainties associated with this lease request were set out in detail as part of the report.

Cabinet Members were mindful that the agreement with Wickersley School would reduce the financial burden on the Council and suggested that consideration be given to extending more community use of the facility and that all Head Teachers be asked to consider using other watersports facilities such as the one at Rother Valley Country Park.

Resolved:- That the request for the water sports equipment (to be specified in an agreed inventory) currently kept at Ulley Activity Centre be used by Wickersley School and Sports College, as part of an agreement Wickersley School wish to enter in to with Environment and Development Services regarding leasing the building as outlined in the report, be approved.
