Issue - meetings

To consider funding support for Knowle Green Estates for the period from 1 April 2022 through to 31 March 2024.

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/services 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/service to enable regeneration in the Borough.

It was proposed by Councillor Boughtflower, Seconded by Councillor Bateson, and resolved that the public and press be excluded during consideration of this item, in accordance with paragraph 3 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended) for the reasons set out in the report.

See separate exempt minutes.

The Committee agreed the proposals, as set out in the report, subject to the funding support arrangement being reviewed by 31 March 2023 to consider support for a further year in 2023/24.

This item will be considered at the Corporate Policy and Resources Committee on 14 March 2022.

This item was withdrawn from the agenda for this meeting.
