To submit a report by the Head of Learning.

It was RESOLVED to accept the report on the progress to date.

The report of the Head of Learning was presented to the Executive for consideration with regard to the transformation of the Culture Service.

The Head of Learning said that the Library, Culture and Youth Transformation Board agreed in January 2016 to invite formal applications with business proposals from interested parties in running Melin Llynnon and Tai Crynion/Round Houses site, Beaumaris Gaol and Court.  It was also decided to commission a report on how to maximise the Oriel Ynys Môn’s income and not to include the Oriel in the outsourcing process.   Applications were invited through Sell2wales facility in April 2016 asking interested parties to present business proposals.  The Transformation Board decided to reopen the process again in September 2016 and interested parties have submitted proposals for the Beaumaris Gaol and Court and the Melin Llynnon site.  The newly appointed Business Manager at Oriel Ynys Môn will lead on a three year business plan which will focus on maximising income and strengthening the cultural aspects of the Oriel.  The Head of Learning further referred to a formal notice of 12 months given to Trinity House with regard to bringing the South Stack lease to an end in March 2017.    She noted that a report on the Culture Service will be presented to the Executive in March 2017 with regard to the transformation of the service.

It was RESOLVED to accept the report on the progress to date.
