Issue - meetings

The Shadow Executive considered a report which was listed as item 7 on the agenda for the Executive meeting on 25 July, at page 41.  The report set out proposals from the Governing Body of Manor School to relocate the school and to increase its capacity, summarised the outcome of consultations on these proposals and outlined further proposals for a land transfer and associated capital contribution to allow the relocation to proceed.

Having discussed the issues set out in the report, the following comments were agreed:

The Shadow Executive:

·  Reiterated its continued support for the reprovision of Manor School on an enlarged basis, but remained concerned regarding the risks involved in locating it on a Green Belt site, especially now that it was known that the British Sugar site would be vacated, which was immediately adjacent to the existing school and offered an alternative non-Green Belt site.

·  Requested that officers be asked to examine this alternative.

RESOLVED:(i) That the Executive be asked to take the above comments into account when considering this item.

                        (ii)        That the item not be called in.
