Press Statement: Cllr Ed Blake Comments on Corporate Scrutiny Meeting

If Cabinet proceeds this week, they will be doing so without proper scrutiny

"As a member of Corporate Scrutiny, I was pleased to support Cllr Geoff Brodie's motion at last night's committee meeting regarding the school closures decision.

Having been given only three working days to scrutinise a report containing thousands of pages, the Committee concluded that it had not been given sufficient time to conduct proper scrutiny. As a result, the Committee resolved that it would require an additional two weeks to complete this process to a satisfactory level.

The Cabinet, made up of members from the Independent and Green Alliance Group, chose not to provide the Corporate Scrutiny Committee with the necessary papers in a timely manner.

If the Cabinet proceeds with the vote on Thursday to close schools, they will be doing so without proper scrutiny. That is their decision."
