Decision:

Cabinet considered the report and RESOLVED to note the petition and comments but take no action.

 

Reasons for the decision:

The Post Office were already taking action and considering future options for expansion in Orton Malborne. It was not appropriate to intervene prior to the outcome of full discussion with the Post Office.

 

Alternative options considered:

To take the action requested in the petition. This option was disregarded as it was considered that appropriate action was already being taken by the Post Office and the Council did not have the power to intervene in any meaningful manner.

 

To refer the petition to a Cabinet Member or relevant Scrutiny Committee. This option was not felt necessary, as it was not believed that further consideration by a Cabinet Member of Scrutiny Committee would enhance the decision made.

 

Interests and Nature of Interests Declared:

None.
