Issue - decisions

Resolved:  That the Executive agree to:

(i)           Undertake further informal public consultation to examine all available options prior to undertaking formal public consultation on the options for the provision of school places in the Southbank area lasting four week;

(ii)          Identify option (b) as the council’s current preferred option, for the purposes of that consultation;

(iii)        Ask the Director of Children’s Services, Education and Skills to bring a report to a future meeting of the Executive describing the outcome of that consultation and making a recommendation for a proposal to be subject to statutory consultation.

Reason:     This will fulfil the LA’s legal obligation to ensure there is appropriate consultation that allows for the most effective solution to be identified.

Resolved:  That consideration of the options for providing additional primary school place in the Southbank area of York be deferred until the Committee’s next meeting on 11 February 2016. 

Reason:     To allow for full consideration of residents comments following the recent public meeting .
