City cabinet's decision to go before special scrutiny meeting after 'call-in'
The controversial move to buy the Salford Red Devils’ stadium by Salford city council is set to be reviewed at a special scrutiny meeting on Wednesday .
Currently, the city council are 50-50 joint owners of the stadium, its two training pitches and car park with property giant Peel.But the move is fiercely opposed by Conservative members on the authority, led by Coun Robin Garrido. His request for the cabinet resolution that the city council becomes sole owners to be ‘called in’ - the process under which major decisions are scrutinised and reviewed - has been granted by the borough solicitor, Iolanda Puzio.
“There is no evidence of the stadium itself producing the estimated 750 jobs,” he said. “These would be provided from the future development and sale of the surrounding land which would not be included in the purchase of the stadium. The city council’s move has been forced by Peel’s desire to exit the joint arrangement which saw the stadium built in 2009/10.In advance of Wednesday's meeting Mr Dennett has told the Local Democracy Reporting Service : "I want to stress that our in-principle commitment to take full ownership and control of the stadium is based on the council’s original vision to provide a truly community asset, support our historic rugby league team and provide demonstrable social value for the city.
