The report is proposing that the Mayor adopt one of the alternative options for Angela Court that were set out in the Cabinet report of 31 July 2019. This is because the agreed option - to grant a lease to Mulberry Housing Society (MHS) has not materialised and Angela Court needs to be put to alternative use. 

The reasons for urgency were noted.

The Pre-Decision Scrutiny Questions and officer responses were noted.

DECISION

1.    To agree that negotiations with Mulberry Housing Society are terminated.
