Members are recommended to approve the following resolution:

“that in accordance with the Public Bodies (Admission to Meetings) Act 1960, the Press and Public be excluded from the meeting for the duration of the following items, on the basis that the information to be disclosed would be prejudicial to the public interest by reason of the confidential nature of the business to be transacted.”

As advised in a previous Pt2 TDC are reviewing their position regarding funding the “enabaling works” at the old aquarium site. This was supposed to reach their executive before this meeting. We have been advised that it now wont. Therfore our course of action needs to be reviewed. Additionally they are taking the view that toilets on the Den are not required.

Previously agreed was;

“To authorise the Clerk to enter in discussions with TDC to either serve 1 months’ notice on the current “tenancies at will” or agree an extension to the dowry timescale or other acceptable scheme to counteract the now 3year delay in this project”

The recommendation is that;

To resolve that the Clerk in consultation with the chair and vice chair is authorised to negotiate with TDC an agreeable solution to the current hiatus. Should that not prove possible then the above are authorised to return the existing tennancies at will with a months notice and any without a tennancie at will with imidiate effect.
