Dear Central Bedfordshire Council,

I am requesting a list of "Community Venues" defined as facilities the Council owns that can be hired for community use. This may include Community Centres, Community Halls, Libraries, Town Halls, Pavilions and any other facilities that can be booked for community use.

Please provide a table with the following columns:

· Name of venue
· Number of bookable spaces
· Total venue income from bookings last financial year (£)
· Does the venue have an online booking system*

*Online booking system is defined as the ability for a customer to book and pay online.

For example:
· Kingswood Community Centre
· 3 bookable spaces
· £30,000
· Yes

Yours faithfully,

T. Houghton
