Report by Assistant Director for Growth & Place (CA9).

 

To seek agreement to receive and spend funding related to Garden Town from Cherwell District Council.

 

The information in this case is exempt in that it falls within the following prescribed categories:

 

3.    Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information)

 

and since it is considered that, in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information, in that a negotiation is ongoing and would prejudice the position of the authority in the process of that negotiation and the Council’s standing generally in relation to such matters in future, to the detriment of the Council’s ability properly to discharge its fiduciary and other duties as a public authority

 

This proposal has been developed in partnership with Cherwell District Council (CDC) who will be taking a sister report through their formal governance process. For the purpose of this proposal CDC will be the accountable body for the funding, and OCC will be the delivery body for the schemes described.

 

The report details the proposed schemes and the current position on each.
