In view of the fact that the relationship between Mr and Mrs Oates and Waddington Parish Council has completely broken down we would suggest that an intermediary be appointed to represent the Foss Dyke Band in any future discussions with the Parish Council.
We are prepared to extend the lease for a one year period to see if a working relationship with the band can be established. This lease is subject to various conditions being met.
The outside of the building and the grounds are properly maintained ie. overgrown bushes/ ivy etc be removed, broken pipework / fencing repaired.
The new lease is to cover the area within the fencing only. Ie. not to include the gated entrance or parking – band members are to use the Village Hall car park.
The lease will run from 1 September 2015 to 31 August 2016. The rent will be £600 per annum and is to be paid strictly on time in two payments of £300 on the 1 September 2015 and 1 March 2016.
