The Board received a report of the Strategic Director – Enterprise, Community and Resources, which provided an update on the creation of a new Leisure Services Division as part of a restructure that had taken place within the Community and Environment Department.

Members were advised that following the appointment of a new Operational Director, a review was undertaken of the existing structure of the Department.  It was considered that the existing structure no longer fitted the way in which the Council organised its portfolios and there were anomalies in terms of reporting.

The Community and Environment Department is one of the largest in the Council and due to this, the restructure would need to be done in phases.  Phase one was completed and the new structure for Community and Environment Department was presented in the report, showing the new Leisure Service Division within this.  The Leisure Services Division consisted of: Brindley Theatre and Events; Community Centres; Leisure Centres and Sports Development Team; and Libraries.

It was noted that there would be future phases of restructure within this Community and Environment Department in the coming months and the Board would be updated accordingly.

RESOLVED:  That the report be noted.
