Concern was expressed that the PAOP now only represented by members of the Cabinet, this is an oversight, and a very bad call should it continue in this way. It was clarified that each individual asset will be reviewed, and this is a process officers will undertake to determine whether the asst is surplus or not It was reiterated that the review of assets was required to safeguard the finances of the Council It was raised that PW were asked some 10 years ago to produce a plan for the Wesley Centre and as of, yet nothing has materialised, TWBC are open for conversation.
