[meersbrook-house] Fwd: What was stated at the meeting of 60 about Meersbook Hall

[David Garlovsky]

Nick

I question your  decision to contact Cate. Based on the information in the email for Cate,  I would suggest we call a meeting of the Steering Group a.s.a.p. to fully discuss  

My recollection is that of Laura’s what Cate said in the meeting.

As this email is going out to the entire mailing list - can others respond to state what their recollection is of the meeting - what they can remember that Cate and the other councillor stated in regard to the officers moving out.

Great if Kaktus could get back to us with his recollection as he was chairing the meeting. Did anyone take any notes??

Kind regards,

David

Of course there is a vague indication that they MAY move out in the not so near future, but that is what is up for negotiation.   Hopes and expectations high etc.   Instead of the first two bullet points on the leaflet can we have something like:  'Sheffield Council are moving offices to Moorfoot and there are concerns that Meersbrook Hall may be vacated and sold"
