Private - Whilst the Cabinet's decisions above are always made public, the officer report relating to this matter is not because it was considered in the private part of the meeting and contained information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the Authority holding that information) and the public interest in withholding the information outweighed the public interest in disclosing it in accordance with Section 100(A) and paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12 (A) to the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended).
Urgency provisions – The Leader of the Council agreed the report relating to this decision as an urgent item. The Chair of the Corporate Resources & Infrastructure Select Committee also agreed the matter was urgent and could not reasonably be deferred in order for it to be considered at Cabinet. This decision was, therefore, taken under special urgency provisions in accordance with the Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2012. |
