Live reporting from tonight’s Cabinet meeting (Update 6)

We’re bringing live coverage (below) from tonight’s Cabinet meeting. Cabinet members have a heavy agenda ahead of them tonight.

As well as considering whether to appoint BT as preferred bidder for the Next Generation Access rural broadband project – which would see the council parting with £3.65m should the scheme go ahead – members will also be considering new lease arrangements for the Riverside Centre.

The Leader will present the Quarterly Performance and Finance Report, which was also discussed at last week’s Overview and Scrutiny Committee.

Also being considered are changes to the Home to Education Transport Policy and endorsement is sought for the Energy Companies Obligation (ECO) Scheme.

Items on the Forward Plan may be discussed and members will have an opportunity to ask Cabinet members questions.

Yes – the same department that during an Environmental Permit meeting earlier this year told Councillors that they should ignore a known health risk as it was not covered by the legislation. Research by WRAP has concluded that the IWC has a legal requirement to undertake air quality monitoring. The public has paid for this legal advice, it is the public who actually breathe in the air… Read more »
