The following motion had been forwarded to the Cabinet for discussion:
This Council resolves to enter into an agreement with Tiverton Town Council to retain at Tiverton Town Hall all the paintings currently on display at Tiverton Town Hall, either by way of long term loan or transfer to Tiverton Town Council, subject to the necessary insurance and security being maintained.'
The Chairman invited Cllr D J Knowles to present his motion to the meeting.
Cllr Knowles outlined the history of some of the paintings in the Town Hall and explained how popular they were with visitors who were shown around the building. He felt that the paintings were part of the history of the town and that they should remain in the Town Hall. The Town Council were purchasing the building and he felt that the contents should have been included in the agreement.
Discussion took place regarding:
· The outcome of a meeting of the Capital Strategy Asset Management Group which had agreed that the remaining paintings should be loaned to the Town Council
· Whether the paintings could have plagues attached to them outlining their history
It was therefore
RECOMMENDED to Council that the Motion 535 be supported.
andRESOLVED that the remaining paintings (outside the original agreement) be loaned to Tiverton Town Council subject to the necessary insurance and security being maintained by the Town Council.
(Proposed by the Chairman)
