New Portsoken Community Centre Update

Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services. 

Minutes:

 Members received a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services, which provided an update on a new community centre which would replace the existing Portsoken Health and Community Centre (the Green Box) as part of the Minories Development in Aldgate.

 

In response to a question, Members noted that a double door would be considered.  The Head of Service also advised that, whilst the community centres managed by the City’s libraries did not operate under the same terms and conditions as those managed by Housing, they have a close working relationship, which has strengthened since the Libraries moved from the Culture, Heritage and Libraries Committee to Community and Children’s Services and plan to build on this in the future.  Furthermore, the Chairman had asked for assurance of robust digital booking systems for the rooms in the City’s libraries and Community Centres.

 

RESOLVED, That – the report be noted.
