Date: 27 September 2006Recommendation: It is recommended that under Section 100(A)(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, the press and public be excluded from the meeting for the following items of business on the grounds that they involve the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of Part 1 of Schedule 12(A) of the Act, as amended by the Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Access to Information) (Amendments) (England) Regulations 2006:-
101 Minutes
102 Review of alternative sites for new secondary school
This Wednesday the Mayor will receive the review of alternative sites for the new school that two months ago was commissioned to external consultants.
We cannot really say of being surprised that a discussion of great public interest on a report paid by public money about land available in our Borough is kept away from the public but the fact that the item on the Agenda is entitled "Exclusion of the Press and Public" rather than a name that says something on what is on discussion is surely very peculiar. Is this an attempt to hide it?
This report must be explosive!
We might not be able to stay in the room during the discussion but we will surely be just outside the door, ready to step back in as soon as the discussion ends and witness the Mayor's decision.
Come join us, Wednesday 27th September, Catford Town Hall.
The Mayor and Cabinet meeting starts at 6 pm, the decision that could save Ladywell Pool is no. 10 on the Agenda.
We'll start congragating outside the Town Hall at 5:30 pm.
