Exclusion of Public & Press (Exempt Business)
To move the exclusion of the Press/Public for the following items, in view of the likely disclosure of 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.
Minutes:
It was proposed by Councillor Boughtflower and Seconded by Councillor Beecher and resolved that the public and press be excluded during consideration of the following items, in accordance with paragraph 3 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended) because it was likely to disclose 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 being able to undertake even-handed negotiations and finalising acceptable contract terms:
Item 13 – Building Control Service
Item 14 – Electric Vehicle Rapid Charging Hub
Item 15 – Local Authority Housing Fund (LAHF) Round 2
Item 16 – Local Authority Housing Fund (LAHF) Property Acquisitions
