A Supplementary Report and a Covering Report are down as item 19A of tomorrow night’s Wirral Council’s Cabinet agenda.
However the full report and executive summary is not going to be published until those named in it have had a right of reply. It’s a rather long running saga, a little complex to put into a short blog post but the supplementary report (which relates to the institutional failings at Wirral Council previously also identified by former employee Martin Morton) should hopefully start Wirral Council back on the path to where it should be.
Clearly somebody’s going to make political capital out of it (and the full report and executive summary when it’s published). With a third of council seats up for election (22) in May 2012, I’m sure some councillors would prefer the reports to be published sooner rather than later.
Update 22/9/11: There’s a Wirral Globe story about it written by Leigh Marles that goes into more detail.
In the period 18th August 2011 to 9th September 2011 there were no planning applications decided by officers about applications relating to Bidston & St. James ward.
However item 4 on tonight’s Planning Committee agenda along with Appendix 1, Appendix 2 and the updated conditions reasons on the proposed Wirral International Trade Centre does relate to a planning application in Bidston & St. James ward.
It was also mentioned on the Granada TV news this morning.
The decision about the International Trade Centre application will be made at tonight’s Planning Committee meeting which will start at 6pm in Committee Room 1 at Wallasey Town Hall, Brighton Street, Wallasey, CH44 8ED.
