Emergency decision on the Grant of Licence of the former canteen at Millmead House, Guildford to Surrey County Council for use at a Lateral Flow Test Centre

Decision Maker: Managing Director

Decision status: Recommendations approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

To grant a licence to Surrey County Council (SCC) over the former canteen at Millmead House, Guildford, so that SCC can set up a lateral flow test centre, in connection with the Covid pandemic. The licence period will be for a term of 22 days from 19 April to 10 May 2021. The licence fee will be a peppercorn.

There is no delegated authority that can allow Officers to approve this matter, so this would normally become a decision to be taken by the Executive, however, this licence needs to be in place by 19 April, so there is not an Executive meeting before then.

Therefore, to expediate the matter, the Managing Director is requested to approve this using his powers to act in an emergency or in relation to matters of urgency, with his decision being reported to the next meeting of the Executive at 25 May 2021.

Reasons for the decision:

To assist in the Covid pandemic response.

Alternative options considered:

No alternative available.
