The City Council is the sole trustee for
several trusts. The three main ones are
the Bridge Estate, which provides for the maintenance and repair of
Trent Bridge and approaches; the Harvey Hadden Stadium Trust,
providing public sports and recreation for Nottingham citizens; and
the Highfields Leisure Park Trust, providing public recreation and
pleasure grounds. The Trusts and
Charities Committee is responsible for carrying out the
Council’s administrative powers and duties in relation to
these trusts. The Committee also
oversees several other small charities.
The Committee is made up of 9 councillors appointed to reflect the
political balance of the Council.
