EDDC’s plans to relocate to Skypark are set to be examined by the overview and scrutiny committee in June, it was agreed at last night’s committee meeting.
I requested, in the forward plan section, that the controversial plans to move from Knowle and build new ones at Skypark, be scrutinised before going before the full council in July.
