EFP Reference: E3596
Reason For Withdrawal: On 6th January 2025, a request for a Single Member Decision from the Cabinet Member for Resources was added to the Cabinet Forward Plan (E3596). The decision was in relation to supporting Aequus, the council's wholly owned housing company, to purchase land at St Clements Road, Keynsham. Aequus has subsequently agreed a more efficient method to secure the land at St Clement Road, Keynsham. As a result, the council no longer needs to be directly involved in the transaction. Consequently, we have withdrawn the request for approval of a Single Member Decision from the Cabinet Forward Plan.
