Report of the Town Clerk.

The Committee considered a report of the Town Clerk which asked that funding continue to be provided to the City of London Corporation Staff Sports and Activities Club for the next three years and that the next review of funding take place after three years.

In response to a Member’s question on the disparity of funding amongst the sports clubs, the Town Clerk confirmed that the level of funding given to the sport clubs is connected to the costs they had incurred. For example, some sports clubs incur higher costs for reasons such as pitch hire whereas other activities take place within the Corporation’s premises and as a result the costs and the level of funding received for those clubs had been lower.

RESOLVED – That the Committee:

a)    Continue to provide funding to the City of London Corporation Staff Sports and Activities Club, at a reduced rate of £11,225 per year, for the next three years (2017-2019); and

b)    Agree that the next review of the funding take place after three years.
