Centenary Market Indoor Stall Tenancies PDF 64 KB Robin Lambert, Markets General Manager, to report.
- to offer revised tenancies to all indoor tenants. Minutes: Consideration was given to a report, presented by the Markets General Manager, relating to a proposal to terminate all Indoor market stall tenancies, in accordance with the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, and the offer of new tenancies subject to revised terms.
Details of the proposed revisions were set out in the submitted report.
Those present discussed the following:-
- an increase in the lease term from 3 years to 5 years: noting this would allow prospective tenants to meet the eligibility criteria for access to Town Centre vitality grants, and would spread the cost of lease renewal fees for existing tenants, saving them money.
It was also reported that currently tenants were required to give 3 months notice, and the Council 6 months.
- a requirement to maintain the electrical installation in the stall to the standards set by the 17th Edition of the I.E.E. regulations and supply a three yearly certificate of conformity.
It was explained that the Council’s insurers would insist on this. Therefore it was proposed to cost how much it be to have all stalls tested and to issue stallholders with a list of required wiring works for them to address. Stall holders would be required to display the certificate.
- the right for Market Management to levy fines on tenants not properly observing the market business hours.
- the right for Market Management to remove goods placed outside the defined boundaries of the stall by persistent offenders.
Resolved:- (1) That the Markets General Manager discuss with Legal Services the details in respect of the implementation of the standards set by the 17th Edition to the I.E.E. regulations, and subsequently advise the Cabinet Member.
(2) That the scale of fine for not observing markets business hours be agreed in consultation with the Cabinet Member.
(3) That the remaining proposals be approved. |
