FOI Request - Forres Community Centre Expenditure

Request 101003714538

Please provide a breakdown of income and expenditure relating to Forres House Community Centre.

This is to help me understand the current consultation relating to the proposal and respond meaningfully. This should be as detailed as possible, including

1.  costs and income for the library facility and café (i.e., any income and expenditure relating to any lease), and

2.  how customers using Fit Life cards are accounted for in the income.

It would be helpful if you could supply this quickly rather than waiting until Freedom of Information deadlines approach, so that the consultation and decision making can be better informed.

Please also provide any information you think would be helpful but is not included in the consultant's report. Thanks.

3.  Please also provide, under Environmental Information, CO2 emissions from Forres House Community Centre.
