Agenda item

The Committee considered a report of the Corporate Director of Regeneration and Economic Growth which sought authority to make a Compulsory Purchase Order pursuant to section 25 and section 39 of the Small Holdings and Allotments Act 1908 in respect of the land at Witton Gilbert allotments (for copy see file of minutes).

Councillor Shaw commented that the allotments provide a popular and valuable resource to the community and he was satisfied there is a need for allotments in the vicinity of the land, and that no suitable alternative sites were available.

Resolved:

That the recommendations in the report be approved.
