Title | Education Resources - Approved budget reduction proposals 2011-2012 - Library Trust Status: property rates saving |
---|---|
Council Resource | Education |
Service Area | Education Resources |
Aims and Objectives | In October 2010, Libraries will become part of South Lanarkshire Leisure and Cultural Trust. As a Trust, Libraries gain charity status and become liable for rates relief, up to a maximum of 95% reduction, thus resulting in a saving for 2011/12. |
Conclusion | Due to Libraries moving to Trust status, Education Resources no longer requires to pay rates and can therefore accumulate a saving. The conclusion of this initial impact assessment is that there are no adverse impacts on any part of the community covered by equalities legislation, or on community relations. |
