Agenda and minutes

To receive any disclosures of interest from Councillors in accordance with the Council’s Code of Conduct for Members aside from those members that are also County Council Councillors.

Councillor Sexton advised that she was also a Surrey County Councillor. Councillor Nichols advised that he was a Director on the Knowle Green Estates Board.

It was proposed by Councillor Sexton and Seconded by Councillor Bateson and resolved that the public and press be excluded during consideration of the following item, 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:

This report is to be considered at the Corporate Policy & Resources Committee on 03 June 2024 who will make a recommendation to Council.

The report is to follow.

Councillor Bateson requested a named vote.

Council resolved to approve the acquisitions through the Local Authority Housing Fund as set out in the report.
