Recommendations:-
1. That we agree to maximum flexibility of rooms, with the possible exception of the requirements of an ‘Anchor Tenant’.
2. That we make maximum use of space to meet current community needs and to increase revenue in the future.
3. That we agree to consider the removal of the pews in the BALLIOL CHAPEL and moving the items that hold particular importance, to a new permanent area within the Mission, to provide an alternative area for worship.
