Proposal for Scout Hut
We have been approached by two pre-schools as there has become a greater need for more childcare facilities within the Buntingford area, due to the town growing in size over the past two years. As part of the community the need to support families and children is becoming greater and with having space available for hire, this seemed like the appropriate step forwards.
Two proposals have been received from pre-schools for permanent letting of the scout hut – Mon – Fri.it was noted that the letting of the hut to a community group for education is permitted under the current VAT rules.
First proposal was rejected based on communication issues.
Second proposal was accepted by the Trustees. Details of the letting as follows;
48 weeks per year between 8am – 4pm.
It was agreed that there would be a rate reduction for the first 3 months to enable the setting up of a new business, the rate would return to standard for the following 38 weeks.
The pre-school are to be responsible for the cleaning of the hut. This should be based around existing COVID-19 guidance issued by the UK Government and the Scout COVID-19 risk assessment.
Action – Sandra to send Jo and Kay copy of the insurance details for the Scout hut to enable a thorough check to be completed.
Action – Jo Cleaning for extra activities to be arranged – e.g: evening activities.
Action – Kay to contact existing hirers regarding termination of contracts asap.
Action – Jo to contact proposed pre-school hirer regarding hourly cost of letting and agree deposit details (proposed 2 months and £500 holding fee)
Action – Kerri/Jo/Kay – Develop COVID-19 risk assessment
It was noted that all Trustees approved this proposal with the changes detailed above.
