ORDERED that Executive:
1.
Approve the exploration of a new museum
with external partners that could replace the CCBM within Stewart Park in the
longer term;
2.
Approve the continued operation of the CCBM
in 2024/25 on the basis that the required saving of £0.100m for 2024/25 had
been met by a permanent reduction in staffing and that this saving was ongoing;
3.
Approve the continued operation of the
CCBM in 2025/26 and 2026/27 subject to securing external revenue support of
£0.150m per annum. Failure to secure this funding would result in closure of
the CCBM and the transfer of some or all of the collection to the Dorman
Museum; and
4.
Approves a reduction in the required
saving from the CCBM from £0.345m to £0.303m in 2025/26 and 2026/27 on
condition that the remainder of the saving £0.042m will be found within the
Regeneration budget via a senior management review.
