(1) To AGREE that Appendices 1 and 2 constitute exempt information according to the categories set out in the Local government Act 1972 (amended Schedule 12A) because it contains information which relates to an individual or which is likely to reveal the identity of an individual, and therefore that the public interest is best served by exemption of the information;
(2) To INSTRUCT the Head of Housing to undertake the appropriate and statutory steps to obtain Compulsory Purchase Orders on the two properties detailed in Appendix 1 and then to dispose of the properties on the open market with a contractual requirement that they shall be brought back into residential use within 18 months; and
