The information in
this case is exempt in that it falls within the following
prescribed categories:
 
3. Information
relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding
that information)
 
and since it is
considered that, in all the circumstances of the case, the public
interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest
in disclosing the information, in that a negotiation is ongoing and
would prejudice the position of the authority in the process of
that negotiation and the Council’s standing generally in
relation to such matters in future, to the detriment of the
Council’s ability properly to discharge its fiduciary and
other duties as a public authority.
 
A decision to
consent to the change of arrangements relating to the provision of
recycling and waste services by the current contractor. This
decision has been taken today because to delay would be detrimental
to the Council’s commercial and financial interests. This is
above the key decision threshold so meets the criteria for a key
decision, but the details are exempt under Paragraph 3 Schedule 12A
Local Government Act 1972 and due to being taken under special
urgency powers of the Chief Executive it has been determined that
the decision is not capable of call-in.
