Minutes:
The Corporate Portfolio Holder presented the report to Members.
He advised Members that the decision at the Cabinet meeting in July had been called in and considered by Policy Development Group. He informed Cabinet that following the recommendation from the group that Cabinet reconsidered its decision the report before them asked Cabinet to undo its previous decision.
He acknowledged Councillors for calling in the decision and that active scrutiny of the decision ensured that the best outcome for Coalville could be delivered.
Councillor R Blunt stated that the Cabinet had to be brave and take the first step but Member scrutiny had proved that it may not have been the right step at that time.
