There is a need to include a clause in the Committee's work programme to consider local investment opportunities and/or consideration to local investment proposals.
RESOLVED to exclude the press and public from the meeting during the discussion on the following items due to the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph 14, Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 - Information about the financial or business transactions of any specific person (including the authority that retains that information). There is an acknowledged public interest in being open about the use of public resources and related financial issues. However, it is also acknowledged that there are occasions, in order to protect public financial interests, where commercial information must be discussed without being publicised. The reports relate specifically to a proposed procurement process. Publishing such commercially sensitive information could be detrimental to the interests of the Council and its partners by undermining competition. This would be contrary to the wider public interest of securing the best overall outcome. For these reasons, the matter is closed in the public interest.
