a Well Doncaster project. The Well Doncaster project is however due
to finish at the end of June, however ReRead wish to continue
providing a community library facility.
To grant a sublease within the Springwell
Centre, Denaby to ReRead for the purpose of delivering a community
library service.
The recommended action follows an established
model for delivering community library services, providing the
facility for the community but enabling the Council to reduce
staffing costs. This was approved for other libraries within the
Borough in a cabinet report dated 11/04/14, and options were
considered at length within that report.
ReRead currently occupy the space, and the recommended option
formalises their occupation setting out a clear Landlord and tenant
relationship.
