Hexthorpe Flatts Cafe was formerly a toilet
block which were delapidated and unfit for use and did not provide
a good first impression for visitors. The toilets were put on the
market to let in 2012 with a tender received to convert into a cafe
which provided a much improved asset.
The tenant however has not been able to make a profit or break even
since opening the cafe and has changed the status to a CIC. As an
outcome of the change in status the tenant has approached the
Council to operate the break clause in the existing lease and
requested a new lease for a reduced rental.
To grant a new lease of the Hexthorpe Flatts
Cafe to The Dell Cafe CIC.
Option 1 - Do not grant new lease (not
recommended)
Option 2 - Grant new lease to Dell Cafe CIC (recommended)
Option 3 - Disposal of property on the market (Not
recommended)
