Report of the Interim Director of Markets & Consumer Protection

The Committee considered a report of the Director of Markets & Consumer Protection in respect of the City Harvest Charity proposals to collect and redistribute end of life produce from New Spitalfields Market. 

The Committee unanimously endorsed the officer recommendations and debated the merits of awarding a grant to City Harvest rather than allowing them a “rent free period.”  It was also suggested that the recommendation be amended to facilitate an annual review of the tenancy.

RESOLVED – That a tenancy-at-will for City Harvest, in the former CHEP site, at a peppercorn rent be approved and reviewed annually, on the proviso that all service charge and business rates costs are met by City Harvest.
