Burton Mail has reported potential sale of crematorium to a private operator.

Actually I asked a question in December 2010 in full Council meeting for the Leader to rule out privatisation of the crematorium. In response he said "an offer" i.e. one bid has been received. Now we understand 4 bids have been received. Obviously there was a signal or invitation for bids to sell off the Crematorium otherwise it appears coincidental that in space of 2 months 4 bids have been received. In response to my question Cllr Grosvenor did not rule out privatisation in December last year.
As member of the Council, I have not received any information about sale of the Crematorium. There has been no consultation with the public either.
The disposal of asset is being discussed in secret meetings and as Julian Mott says it does not take a genious to work out what is happening.
I certainly will not rubber stamp the sale of the Crematorium when it come to the full Council. However the Conservatives have the majority and are likely to win any vote comfortably.

Are you sure you haven’t received any information or intention to sell after all as you have said it is part of the full council agenda, a meeting you are going to! How can it be a secret meeting you , as a councillor , have surely been invited to it, have you not read the agenda?
ReplyDeleteIt may not take a “genious” to understand what the discussion is but does it take a genius to spell it properly?”
Welcome to my blog. Conservatives have NO mandate to sell this vital public asset.
ReplyDeletePeople will not forgive you!!
