The Deputy Chief Executive and Chief Officer Finance & Trading presented the report which sought Members’ views on a proposal from Swanley Town Council to transfer the Bartholomew Way Park to Swanley Town Council at nil cost with the view to Swanley Town Council developing the site for a new Swanley Health Hub.

Members discussed the recommendation which was that the proposal be rejected as if the park was transferred a green space in the district would be lost and there were a number of other development sites in Swanley that might be suitable for a health hub.
