Issue details

Proposed 25 year Lease to Eat that Frog (ETF) of land at Parkfield

ETF is commissioned by the Local Authority to deliver key support services to some of the most vulnerable young people in the bay.  The services need a long term base from which to establish itself and operate.


In addition, providing ETF with a 25 year lease enables the service to access external grant funding.  This additional funding will subsidise its limited income and enable the service to create new opportunities for local young people.
