To consider a referral from the special meeting of the Economy and Regeneration Overview and Scrutiny Committee held on 27 October.

Minutes:

Following a report from the Director of Law, HR & Asset Management, Members were requested to consider a referral from the special meeting of the Economy and Regeneration Overview and Scrutiny Committee held on 27 October 2009 on the West Kirby ‘Sail ‘ project.

 

RESOLVED - That

 

(1)  the withdrawal of the call-in of the Cabinet’s decision (Minute No.129 refers) by Conservative Councillors hereby indicating their support for that decision, which is now being implemented, be welcomed;

 

(2)  Cabinet is therefore perplexed that, having withdrawn that call-in notice, an additional meeting of the Economy and Regeneration Overview and Scrutiny Committee should have been held to consider the same issue.  Cabinet thanks those representatives from the Lake Users Group and the West Kirby Walking Group who attended that meeting, but regrets that they were invited to a meeting which served no constitutional purpose; and

 

(3)  Cabinet notes that detailed negotiations are currently underway with Carpenter Investments to produce a Development Agreement, which will include a consultation and stakeholder engagement plan and which will be reported back to a future meeting of Cabinet for decision.
