Agenda item

To recommend to Full Council to accept, in principle and subject to completion of due diligence and any requirements of the Charity Commission, the offer of the transfer of the Stabmonk Park Chalvey Millennium Green by the Chalvey Millennium Green Trust to Slough Borough Council, in it’s capacity as a corporate trustee of charitable land.

The Service Lead Regeneration Development introduced a report that sought approval to the acceptance of the offer of the transfer of the Stabmonk Park Chalvey Millennium Green by the Chalvey Millennium Green Trust to Slough Borough Council.  This matter had been considered and approved by the Trustee Committee and would, if agreed by Cabinet, be recommended to Council.

It was noted that the trustees of the Chalvey Green Millennium Trust had struggled to recruit younger residents into the trust and the burden of the management and maintenance of the green was starting to become disproportionate to the trusts resources.  The Council had been in discussions with the Trust for some time around the improvements desired to Stabmonk Park as part of the Montem Leisure Centre redevelopment and the potential for the green to transfer to the local authority.  The transfer process as detailed in the report was noted.  The trust would be overseen by the Trustee Committee.

After due consideration, it was agreed to recommend the transfer to Council.

Recommended –  To accept, in principle and subject to completion of due diligence and any requirements of the Charity Commission, the offer of the transfer of the Stabmonk Park Chalvey Millennium Green by the Chalvey Millennium Green Trust to Slough Borough Council, in it’s capacity as a corporate trustee of charitable land.
