The Brandhall meeting, first reported to be held in September by deputy leader of Sandwell Council Bob Piper, has been pushed back to November. But campaigners at Brandhall Green Space Action Group , and a public consultation which showed 83 per cent of individuals objected to the plans, had forced the local authority to reconsider.
Ian Bennett, chair of BGSAG said: “Following the admission by councillor Hughes that cabinet approved plans for Brandhall on the basis of flawed information, all has gone quiet. “We hope that Sandwell will show true integrity and deal with Brandhall in an equitable and fair manner.” A spokesperson for Sandwell Council said: “The meeting at which Sandwell Council’s cabinet will respond to a Scrutiny ‘call-in’ on the decision on the future of the former Brandhall golf course site will now take place on November 16.
