Report of the General Purposes Sub-Committee:
Heybarnes Branch - Forecourts.
Your Sub-Committee
have made arrangements to visit this site before the Meeting of your Committee, and hope to be in a position to report their recommendations
as to the most suitable manner of dealing with the forecourts.
With reference to the paragraph in the foregoing report
relating to forecourts at the Heybarnes Branch, the Committee were informed that a visit had been paid to the Branch that morning
by the General Purposes Sub-Committee in company with the City Surveyor and General Manager. After considering the suggestions of
the City Surveyor on the matter the Sub-Committee were of the opinion that the best method of dealing with the land would be to enclose
the land from the entrance to the edge of the footpaths in Hob Moor Road and Fosbrooke Road and to plant the area with shrubs, the
remainder of the land to be asphalted.
3367 RESOLVED:- That the General Manager be instructed to make arrangements
accordingly.

On Minute No 1751 (proposed enlargement of Acocks Green branch) the Sub-Committee were
informed that Councillor Hume and the General Manager had interviewed Mr Flavell (the tenant of the flat) with a view to arriving
at a basis of settlement in respect of his temporary removal to premises at the Heybarnes Branch in order to facilitate the progress
of the proposed alterations at Acocks Green. The following offer had been made to Mr Flavell:
1. To pay the cost of removal of furniture etc from Acocks Green branch to Heybarnes branch, and back again.
2. To release Mr Flavell from his obligation to pay rent in respect of the Acocks Green premises during his absence therefrom.
3. To allow Mr Flavell to reside at Heybarnes branch free of rent, rates etc.
4. To re-imburse him in respect of any reasonable expenditure incurred in providing curtains and floor coverings at Heybarnes branch.
5. On completion of alterations at Acocks Green to arrange for the long passage leading to Mr Flavell's apartments to be cleaned by the Bank cleaners three times per week without charge to Mr Flavell.
6. To instruct the
Architect to make minor alterations to the kitchen and bedroom for the purpose of improving the Acocks Green premises from the tenant's
point of view.
Mr Flavell has also been given the option of remaining at the Heybarnes flat at a rental of £45 per annum plus
rates and cost of internal repairs but a letter had been received from the Gas Department saying they could not sanction such an arrangement.
Mr
Flavell in addition to the above arrangement had asked for an allowance to be made in respect of the cost of lunches and travelling
expenses for his son and himself during his occupation of the Heybarnes flat. Alternatively Mr Flavell had intimated that he was prepared
to accept a lump sum of £79 in respect of removal and out-of-pocket expenses. The Sub-Committee were of opinion that the offer made
on behalf of the Bank was most reasonable and equitable, and it was accordingly:
1759 RESOLVED:- That Mr Flavell
be informed that the Bank are not prepared to grant any additional concessions to those already offered as outlined above, and in
the event of this offer not being accepted the Bank Committee would consider deferring the proposed alterations at Acocks Green until
the termination of Mr Flavell's lease, in which event they would not be inclined to grant him any extension.
