Kirkdale Ward Tarmacademy Construction Training Centre
Dear Mayor Joe Anderson,
At the Cabinet meeting held on 11 December 2015 there was a Mayoral Recommendation (64 c) that:
(i) authority be granted to assist Kings Construction (and thereby Tarmacademy and Cemex), to acquire sites in the north Docks area of Liverpool, in order to provide a new training facility and tarmac production facility;
(ii) authority be granted to .......... to negotiate with land owners of suitable sites identified in the Liverpool area and to negotiate with Kings Construction (and thereby Tarmacademy and Cemex) with regards to the terms and conditions for the leasing arrangements;
(iii) delegated authority be granted to ............ commit expenditure of up to £3.5m for land acquisition, to be funded from borrowing, subject to the necessary financial, legal and property due diligence and a robust and sustainable business case being developed ........
As it was Resolved that the recommendation be approved would the Mayor now advise:
1. How many sites were ultimately acquired for this purpose?
2. Details of whom each site was acquired from.
3. The date on which each site was acquired.
4. The acquisition cost of each site.
5. The source of the monies borrowed by the Council to fund these acquisitions, and the rate
of interest charged.
6. The Cemex Docklands Asphalt plant was opened on Brunswick Place in January 2018.
When and where was the Tarmacademy Training Facility opened?
7. Why one of the participants is recorded in the Minutes as 'Kings Construction' instead of
by their correct details, Knowsley Contractors Ltd trading as King Construction?
Yours faithfully,
Brian Abbott

Dear Liverpool City Council,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Liverpool City Council's handling of my FOI request 'Kirkdale Ward Tarmacademy Construction Training Centre'.
You are using the COVID19 situation as the reason for not having responded within the statutory deadline but your response was due before the Prime Minister put the country in lockdown. It is clear that you ARE answering FOI enquiries and if a substantive response is not forthcoming the matter will be referred to the Information Commissioner.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/k...
