Minutes:
The Council noted a report of the Director of Planning and Property that informed Members of an emergency decision that had been taken to acquire a property within the Borough.
The purchase of the property would significantly enhance the delivery of a project in the Corporate Plan. Bids were required to be submitted by 31 October and the Council were minded that there were other interested parties in the property. Therefore it was considered appropriate to rely on the emergency powers set out in Standing Order 35 (Council Procedure Rules) to allow the decision to be taken. A copy of the decision made was appended to the report.
RESOLVED:
That the report be noted.
