To consider a report in response to a Petition in relation to Poynton Pool.

Minutes:

The Committee considered a report prepared in response to a petition in relation to Poynton Pool. The petition, received by the Council, had been signed by over 5,000 petitioners.

 

The Committee noted that the proposal was subject to a live planning application to which the Council was a participant.

 

It was proposed and seconded that a report be brought to a future meeting to include responses to the issues raised by the public speakers and why the Council did not include a cost benefit analysis.  On being put to the vote, the motion was declared lost.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the Committee receive and note the Poynton Pool Petition.

Councillor M Goldsmith read out his statement in relation to Poynton Pool.

 

Councillors L Braithwaite, J Clowes, B Drake, A Heler, M Garnet, N Mannion and F Wilson returned to the meeting.
