Brentwood Borough Council wish to grant a lease to Citizens Advice South Essex Limited of ground floor offices in the newly redeveloped Town Hall

The rent to be paid by Citizens Advice is below Market Rental levels and the Council therefore requires authorisation under the Less than best consideration criteria to grant a lease within these guidelines.

After a full discussion, Cllr Tumbridge MOVED and Cllr Mrs Hones SECONDED that the report be rejected.

A vote was taken by a show of hands and it was RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY.

(Cllr Cloke declared a non pecuniary interest by the virtue as the liaison through the Rotary to Citizen Advice- South Essex he left the Chamber, therefore did not take part in the voting.)
