00:00What it amounts to is that whilst as an administration we have always sought a compromise,

00:06the first, the substantive motion would have given us a compromise that 4Cs Academy would have accepted.

00:14The amendment to the motion we know hasn't been, was not acceptable to them

00:21and reluctantly most of my group voted against it.

00:34we'd abide by the decision of full council.

00:37So what we've in effect done is allowed full council, which is what they asked for,

00:43to make the decision as to whether the land was going to be demised by either 63% or 77%.

00:59which could lead to a judicial review.

01:02We now have to wait and see what their decision is.
