TIME TO EXCLUDE THESE TWO FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

Dear Residents,

An email has just been copied to us from a Lympne resident with a reply from Jenny Hollingsbee (see her status below) relating to this evenings debate on the proposed Otterpool New Town. 

We have highlighted her personal opinion. We believe that the public, as Council Tax payers, should be included in any debate on how OUR money has been, or will be spent in the future. As our joint District Councillor, are we to assume that District Councillor Susan Carey shares Councillor Hollingsbees' sentiment.


Joint District Councillors: Susan Carey and Jenny Hollingsbee.

Thank you for your email.

As I am sure you are aware, the Officer responsible for our Legal Department makes a recommendation to Councillors with regard to whether a meeting should be held in private or not.  At the Cabinet Meeting today it will be Cabinet Members decision as to whether this advice should be followed.   However, I believe that it is appropriate to take legal advice based on the information to be discussed.  The meeting will consider issues relating to land assembly for Otterpool and the financial information relating to it.  It seems to me that this is very commercial sensitive information and a valid reason for the meeting to exclude the general public.
