PENTRE AWEL

Minutes:

Following the application of the public interest test it was RESOLVED pursuant to the Act referred to in minute no. 12 above not to publicise the content of the report as it contained exempt information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the Authority holding that information) (Paragraph 14 of Part 4 of Schedule 12A to the Act).

 

The report contains details about potential academic partners who have not as yet signed memoranda of Understanding with the Authority.  Although the public interest would normally favour transparency and openness, this is outweighed by the public interest in maintaining confidentiality in this case until the MOUs have been signed.

 

The Executive Board considered a report on Pentre Awel in relation to the submission of the City Deal Business Case, agreements with academic partners and Phase 1 design development.

 

UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED RECOMMENT TO COUNCIL that it:

 

13.1

Approves the final Business Case (as attached in appendix 1) for formal submission to the Swansea Bay City Region Joint Committee for approval to submit to Welsh Government and UK Government.

13.2

Agrees and approve the signing of Memorandum’s of Understanding with academic partners. To note that these discussions fit within the overall planning for education skills and training.

13.3

Endorses the completion of the RIBA Stage 3 detailed design development work and outputs.
