Update Holsworthy Pavilion
Holsworthy Town Council are the landlords of the Holsworthy Area Sports Pavilion in Stanhope Park.
Currently there is a lease in place with HASP. During our annual checks, we were made aware by our insurers that the Pavilion was not insured for ‘commercial’ trading.
The Town Council called an emergency meeting with members of HASP to discuss the issues brought up by the insurance company. The legal documentation for insurance and lease requirements was not in place as well as necessary structural changes required for commercial trading with an estimated cost of around £5000-£6000. As the building was uninsured it was agreed with HASP that the commercial trading was required to cease with immediate effect.
The ongoing use of the Pavilion being used by a commercial third party was discussed. Due to the fact the third party had handed in their notice to quit, HASP informed the council that they would return to using the Pavilion with their old model whereby volunteers operate the management of refreshments.
This will allow HASP to continue to facilitate their community hub.
