Thameside House - Staines Ward Councillors Development Meeting - Update
To receive an update on the Staines Ward Councillors’ Development Meeting on the Thameside House Development.
Reason for Exemption This attached documents contain 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 future construction works 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’s future regeneration in the Borough. Minutes: This item was deferred until the next meeting of the Development Sub-Committee on 15 November 2021. |
