Leader's Announcements to Council
Minutes:
The Leader reported to Council upon two matters as follows
1. The first announcement related to recent Cabinet changes. The former Portfolio Holder for Resources was no longer a Cabinet member and the Leader had assumed responsibility for all Resources Portfolio responsibilities and powers.
2. The second announcement related to urgent action taken under Council Procedure Rules 18 & 25 of the Constitution on 27th October. The Leader was required to inform Council of Key Decisions taken during the previous quarter, where it had not been possible to include details on the Forward Plan. There had been one such decision during the last quarter, this relating to the acquisition of land at Crewe. Members had received separate notification of this matter, on 29th October. As the matter was, commercially sensitive the Leader did not provide further details. However, the Leader referred to correspondence already sent out to Members, which provided further information and that they should, therefore, rely upon this if more detail was needed.
