Report by Executive Director of Development and Infrastructure Services

The Committee considered a report which outlined the current arrangements for the management of Duchess Wood and highlighted that the current management agreement will expire in August 2020. Members were asked to consider potential options for the subsequent management of the site.

Decision

The Helensburgh and Lomond Area Committee agreed:

1.    That the management agreement will not be renewed in 2020 and that officers work with the Friends of Duchess Wood to explore options (b) and (d) as outlined in the report; and

2.    If there is no agreement then the wood will revert back to the landowner and that officers provide clarity on any financial implications to the Council.
