Notice of Motion - Oldway Mansion - Charity Trust Minutes: Members received the following motion, notice of which was given in accordance with Standing Order A14:
The saga of Oldway Mansion is still ongoing and although a potential solution exists with the creation of a community Charity Trust, this has not been allowed to be created because the potential Trust still await the letter of authorisation from the landowner, i.e. Torbay Council. Once setup the Trust would be able to bid into funding opportunities, in particular the Heritage Lottery Fund to which the Council currently can’t bid into.
This Council has a legal duty to look after its listed heritage buildings and the time has come for us to step up to the mark and deal with some of our responsibility. We can no longer ignore the mansion as if it simply did not exist.
Therefore, this Council commits to continue to work with the local community and to help them set up the Charity trust to help move the Oldway project forward. Furthermore the Council will release the letter within the next 7 working days required by the Charity Commission to enable the Trust to be setup.
In accordance with Standing Order A15.9 Councillor Chris Lewis requested that his motion be withdrawn, Councillor Sykes as seconder had also provided her agreement for the motion to be withdrawn. The motion was therefore withdrawn. |
