Agenda item

Two questions had been received from Members of the Public regarding the following:

·         Whether the Council agreed with, and fully accepted the guidance from the Department for Education (DfE) that the purpose of promoting British values in schools was to ensure young people left school prepared for life in modern Britain.

·         the latest position regarding the "Festival Walk" Shopping Mall, in Spennymoor town centre

In the absence of the questioners, the Interim Head of Legal and Democratic Services informed the Council that a copy of the questions, together with the responses would be placed on the Council’s website and a copy of the response would also be sent direct to the questioners.
