2.    Authorises the Head of Highways and Engineering and the Executive Director, Core Services and Solicitor to the Council to make and implement the Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) as originally published.

That under Section 100(A) 4 of the Local Government Act 1972, the public be excluded from the meeting for the following item of business on the grounds that it involves the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12(A) of such Act indicated, as now amended by the Local Government (Access to Information) (Variation) Order 2006.

RESOLVED that Cabinet:-

1.    Approves plans to re-commission the Adult Community Support and Enablement Services (ACSES) Framework following consideration of the financial implications highlighted in section 3.1 of the report;

2.    Approves the direct award of existing care packages to the incumbent providers if their tender is successful; therefore, these packages are not subject to competition.

2.    Authorises the freehold sale of the asset as laid out in the report; and
