Agenda and minutes

Prayers were led by Reverend Jill Bentall.

The following report is confidential

That, pursuant Section 100(A) of the Local Government Act 1972, the public be excluded from the meeting during consideration of the following report on the grounds that it involved the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in the following Paragraphs of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Act, as amended, indicated below. The public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the Public interest in disclosing the information for the reason given below:

Estates Property Matters

It was considered that the report contained exempt information within the meaning of paragraph 3 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, as amended.  It was further considered that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosing the information because the information related to the financial or business affairs of the Council and a third party.

To consider the purchase of property matters

Consideration was given to a report of the Finance Portfolio Holder for a budget to be approved in order that due diligence can be undertaken in respect of a potential property purchase.

Resolved:

That the recommendations as set out at items 1 and 2 of the exempt report be approved.
