The Council at its meeting held on 16 November 2017 agreed (Minute No. 65 (2)) that the Overview and Scrutiny Committee (Regeneration and Skills) would receive an update on the commercial acquisition of the Strand Shopping Centre

A Special meeting of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee (Regeneration and Skills) was held for this purpose on 31 January 2018 and the Committee received a presentation from Sarah Kemp, Executive Director.

The presentation was in two parts and for Part 2 of the presentation Members of the press and public were excluded from the meeting on the grounds that the presentation would involve the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in Paragraphs 3 and 5 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972.
