Issue - meetings

The minutes of the meetings of the Cabinet held on 7th December 2011 and 4th January 2012 were received.

With reference to Minute No. 97/11 (Medium Term Financial Plan 2012/13 – 2014/15), the Leader referred to the Capital bid for toilets in Bromsgrove Cemetery which the Cabinet had resolved to take out of the budget process at this stage pending a further report. In order to progress matters quickly he now wished to propose to the Chamber that the necessary funds (£25,000) be released. The Monitoring Officer advised that whilst a report would normally be submitted to the Cabinet, if Members were comfortable with making a decision that evening they could so, as the Cabinet would have had to make a recommendation to the full Council.

The proposal was seconded by Councillor C. J. Bloore.

Councillor M. J. A. Webb as the relevant Portfolio Holder provided Members with further details of the proposal.

RESOLVED that £25,000 be released from balances to be added to the Capital Programme for 2011/12 to fund the cost of new toilets for Bromsgrove Cemetery.
