Decision details

Kirklees Stadium and Kirklees Stadium Developments Ltd - Further revisions to the previously agreed approach

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

Cabinet agreed an approach in December 2022. Changes in the ownership of the football club, and a reluctance amongst other parties to progress on the basis previously agreed may impact on the ability to deliver the project as previously envisaged. The report will seek slightly wider authority for officers to complete negations to amend the councils interests in the Stadium.

Decision:

RESOLVED –

 

1)    That pursuant to Minute Nos. 118 and 125 of the meeting of Cabinet on 21 December 2022, authority be delegated to officers to conduct negotiations with the HTAFC and HRLFC regarding the KSDL agreement, with a view to them taking full operational control of the facility (and negotiations with other current leaseholders as necessary).

2)    That a further report be considered to update Members on progress on the actions set out in the considered report.
