Meeting: 12/02/2020 - Policy and Resources Committee (Item 146)

Questions from Members to the Chairman (if any)

Minutes:

Councillor J Sams asked the following question of the Chairman:

 

‘Can you please tell us the financial cost of inviting Lord Taylor to speak on garden communities, to members at the briefing meeting last week?’

 

The Chairman and the Leader of the Labour Group responded to the question.

 

Councillor J Sams asked the following supplementary question:

 

‘ As we’ve listened to Lord Taylor about the positives of the garden community. How about a balanced approach ensuring councillors receive a presentation from individuals offering an alternative to garden communities.  I just wonder if this has been considered bearing in mind the significant financial and social risks to the council?’

 

The Chairman responded to the supplementary question.

 

The full response was recorded on the webcast and was made available on the Maidstone Borough Council website.
