Issue - meetings

Committee is asked to:

1.    note the report and the current position on the creation of a potential new Staines Health and Wellbeing centre;

2.    note that if the preferred site chosen is on land in Council ownership that a further report will come to the Development Sub Committee.

Reason for exemption

This report contains exempt information within the meaning of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972, as amended by the Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1985 and by the Local Government (Access to information) (Variation) Order 2006 Paragraph 3 – Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information) and in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information because, disclosure to the public would prejudice the financial position of the authority in the bidding process for the site by allowing other bidders to know the position of the Council. This in turn prejudices the Council by (i) distorting the bids process and (ii) prejudicing the opportunity for the Council to acquire a site in order to enable regeneration in the Borough.

The Committee received an update from the Group Head Regeneration and Growth and resolved to:

1.    note the report and the current position on the creation of a potential new Staines Health and Wellbeing centre;

2.    note that if the preferred site chosen is on land in Council ownership that a further report will come to the Development Sub Committee.
