To consider a report from the Director for the Economy, a copy is attached as item 13.

Before the Committee was a report by the Director for the Economy, copies of which had been circulated to all Members and a copy of which is attached to the signed copy of these minutes as Item 13.

The Committee was informed that following a dialogue with Sport England, a proposal had been received on the 6th July from Adur Community Leisure, setting out an alternative way forward for the leisure facilities in Adur. Officers would now evaluate the proposal giving it full and proper consideration applying due diligence. Therefore, the Committee was advised that it would be inappropriate to discuss the item at this time and that Members would need to find an appropriate route forward to make an informed decision about the proposition.

The proposal was seconded by Cllr David Simmons and unanimously agreed.
