The Solicitor to the Council and Monitoring Officer advised the meeting of documents received at 12noon today which are to be treated as a petition.
The Chief Executive asked Cabinet to note the objection of the petition and for consideration to be given to the objection.
The Leader of the Council asked this meeting to consider the petition that had been received and note it. He advised that all meetings in relation to the Golf Course have been in public and will continue to be.
The Report of the Portfolio Holder for Economy and Education providing Members with a report detailing the options appraisal of the short listed future options for Tamworth Golf Course from which Members will select their preferred option for implementation was discussed.
Options B and G were ruled out as they are options of high risk and uncertainty. Option I is the lowest risk.
