Permision or Licence
Decision Summary:
That, following a request from the licencee, the licence to operate an experimental cafe concession on Sworders Field awarded to Mary's Vintage Kitchen be extended for a further six weeks (until end of November 2014 approx) on the same basis as currently awarded,
Deciding Officer:
James Parker
Option Considered:
| Option | Selected/Rejected | Reasons |
|---|---|---|
| Not to extend the licence | Rejected | The service appears successful and the public appear to appreciate its presence |
| To put the licence out to open tender immediately | Rejected | The tender process could not be completed in time given the operational dates requested |
| To extend the licence now for a further six weeks. If it continues to appear that a concession is financially viable then to put the concession out to open tender for the 2015 season | Selected | This option secures the service and income to the council in the short term and ensures that best value is obtained in the long term, should the viability of a concession of this nature be confirmed by the continued trading on an experimental basis |
