Issue details

Greasbrough Youth Football Club (the club) have worked with RMBC since 2011 when the club were awarded a rolling 1 year licence to maintain a section of land on Roughwood road, Wingfield. In subsequent years, as the club developed in size and stature, a request was received to change their licence agreement to as Asset Transfer Agreement, without break clauses. The current policy for Asset Transfer agreements includes the periodic review of the agreement through break clauses. At each of these points the club or the Council can terminate the agreement if certain grounds are breached, or if one or both parties decide the agreement is no longer viable. In order for the club to develop its facilities further (football pitch improvements/ facilities) it was necessary for the club to apply for external grants to fund this. Two funders, namely Sport England and The Football Foundation were applied to by the club to secure funds to develop one of the football pitches within their leased areas.
