Everything below was read out of a PDF by a model It is useful and it is not authoritative. The document it came from is linked in the rail, and where the two disagree the document is right.

The committee was asked to grant landlord’s consent for proposed outdoor events in Brighton & Hove parks and open spaces during 2022. The events were intended to support cultural recovery, tourism, charities and community activity, subject to formal agreements, safety requirements, permissions and Covid-safe arrangements.

Recommendation

Grant landlord’s consent, subject to formal agreements, for each proposed event in Appendix 1; authorise officers to agree conditions, fees and support with event organisers; and authorise the Executive Director, Economy, Environment & Culture, in consultation with the committee chair and opposition spokespersons, to alter the programme, approve new applications or cancel events where necessary.

Financial impact

No direct financial implications; existing Outdoor Events budgets will cover staff time. The Outdoor Events budget contains an income target of £0.367m for fee income.
