<DIV>A notice has been posted announcing that a Council meeting will be held at
3 00 pm next Wednesday, 30 April ”To preview and short list proposals in
respect of the Land Securities monies.” </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Council propose to exclude the public and the press from the meeting
because of “the confidential nature of the business to be transacted”</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Your Society Committee considers that this meeting should be a normal
Council meeting, open to the public and the press. It considers that the Land
Securities monies belong to the Parish and its residents and that any discussion
about their use must be open to public scrutiny. It considers there is
nothing of a “confidential nature” to be protected.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Your Society Committee wishes to know what you think. <STRONG>Should the
meeting be a closed meeting? </STRONG><STRONG> </STRONG></DIV>
