PDF 222 KBThis report sets out the case for supporting
through rent relief, local community-based organisations that these
premises from the Council, including those which are faith-based,
during the current COVID-19 epidemic.
These buildings are subject to government regulations which in most
cases results in closure and loss of income to the lessees at a
time when demand for services is increasing and other funding may

community organisations through the current crisis and help ensure
they are able to continue to provide valued services to local
residents in the future.
