A question was received from David Cronshaw which was read out by the Chair due to the questioner not being in attendance.
The Chair briefly summarised the question from David Cronshaw which was in relation to the high prices of playing golf under the age of 18 on public courses in comparison to other courses in and outside of the city and if this can be looked at in the leisure review.
The Chair responded with:
A1. As part of the tender exercise the Council will require bidders to submit detailed information about their approach to pricing. This information will be reviewed, and the Council will discuss pricing proposals with bidders during the dialogue phase of the procurement. Bidders will be made aware that the Council require bids that encourage participation by young people and that their proposed pricing structures should support this.
Members of the Council’s Sport and Leisure Team will arrange to meet with Mr Cronshaw and will ensure that any feedback provided is considered and fed into the dialogue process with bidders.
