On Tuesday 18th June 2019 at 6pm, there will be a Special Council "Call In" Meeting to discuss the decision to transfer the management of Council Municipal Golf Courses to Private Operators
The reason for the "Call In" is as follows:
"We note the decision to approve the recommended preferred provider and to commence negotiations for a lease transfer of The Warren Golf Course (including The Grange) and Arrowe Park Golf Course but are concerned that:
- Brackenwood Golf Course, which must also be affected by the same issues leading to this decision, is excluded from the decision and any proposed benefits to users and taxpayers �
- Accurate financial information for the running costs (including income, expenditure and capital works) for both facilities has not been provided � The scope of the negotiations has not been defined, in particular, any alternative uses for the land or buildings �
-The only consultation outlined is the statutory consultation required by the Local Government Act 1972 and that no meaningful consultation has taken place with existing users and clubs on either facility
