Notice is hereby given that the Lead Member for Environmental Services, Maidstone Borough Council, intends to make a key decision in respect of the matter outlined below. It is possible that the Lead Member may need to enter into closed session during the consideration of the item.
As the 28 days’ notice required by Regulations 5 and 9 of the above Regulations, alongside the rules for General Exemption under Regulation 10 of the above Regulations, are impracticable to be complied with for the reasons set out below. Therefore, notice is hereby given that the Chairman of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee has agreed that the making of the decision is urgent and cannot reasonably be deferred.
