Councillor Philip Davis to move the following recommendations:

 

"That the Full Council acting as Trustee:

 

1. Approves the 2026–27 budgets for all Trusts and Charities for which the Council acts as sole custodian, detailed in this report and further set out in Appendix 1.

 

2. Delegates authority to the Executive Director of Finance and Section 151 (or their delegates) in consultation with the Chair to the Committee to manage expenditure within the approved budgets and report any material variations to the Committee.

 

3. Notes the Councils planned contribution of £1,057,785 for the maintenance and operation of parks and recreation grounds charities, recognising the financial pressures and limited income available to many of the Trusts.

 

4. Approves the merger of twelve parks charities and authorises officers to seek a Charity Commission Scheme (usually a cy-près scheme) to amend or remove charitable objects that are no longer capable of being delivered on a financially sustainable or legally compliant basis.

 

5. Approves a scheme be sought for George Cadbury Park to enable a replacement building for the one destroyed by arson.

 

6. Authorises the City Solicitor (or their delegate) to prepare and complete all necessary legal documentation to give effect to the above recommendations."
