Debate on Petition Against Closure of Our Golf Course
“Tamworth Borough Council have made the decision to close down our Golf Course in March 2015 and possibly build houses on the land. We as the residents of Tamworth wish to oppose this as we should retain the Golf Course which allows adults and children affordable access to the sport and all the natural beauty of this green land.”
Minutes:
The petition was presented by Mr Lane in the absence of the petition organiser.
Councillor P Standen moved a Motion without notice under Rule 4.13n and proposed to suspend Rule 4.12.1 for the current item on the agenda so that a Motion could be placed before Council to allow the time for the debate by Councillors to extend beyond 15 minutes as set out in the recently adopted Petitions Policy. This was seconded by Councillor J Faulkner.
This was not carried.
There then followed a debate on the Petition against the Closure of Our Golf Course.
The following motion was approved following a name vote:
