RESOLVED:
That the Cabinet:
1) Authorises the granting of a 5-year lease at Kingsend South Short Stay Car Park, Ruislip, to John Lewis for an annual rent and income to the Council as set out in the report;
2) Instructs Legal Services to complete the appropriate lease documentation;
3) Delegates any further decisions required in respect of this matter to the Corporate Director of Place, in consultation with relevant Cabinet Members.
Reasons for decision
Cabinet agreed to the letting of the Council’s adjacent car park to facilitate an improved parking experience for Waitrose Ruislip customers. It was welcomed that the lease would help support this key local supermarket.
Alternative options considered and rejected
Cabinet could have decided to continue operating the car park as ‘pay and display’ but discounted this for the reasons set out in the report.
