Council

The Council debated a Notice of Motion by Councillor Jon Shimmin about possible changes to the ownership or management of St David's Hall in Cardiff. Members rejected one amendment and carried a second, so the motion as amended asks Cabinet to meet several conditions before any change, and to use an open tendering process if it still wishes to proceed.
