Consultation
Questions to Cabinet/Full Council
Councillor T Madge “At the last Full Council Meeting on 23rd February 2016, you stated that ramps would be built to give access to people with restricted mobility in order that they can make use of all the New Community Woodland areas on the former golf course. Can you give more details on this please?”
Councillor T Peaple “Can you please clarify what you meant by your statement in the Tamworth Herald that selling the golf course site will 'allow Tamworth Borough Council to safeguard vital services for the people of Tamworth?”
Councillor T Peaple “On a previous meeting Councillor Cook denied the idea that you would balance the budget by selling off the golf course site. However you have told me just now suggests that the interest from it will still be used to reserve future economic strategy and therefore the budget. Is it essentially the fact isn’t this the case that indirectly this money will essentially balance the budget?”
Questions to Cabinet/Full Council 23 February 2016
Councillor T Peaple - “What progress has been made regarding plans to invest the capital receipts gained from the sale of the golf course site?”
