The agenda of Shepway Council's cabinet meeting on 18th March is now available online - but possibly the most controversial part of it is to remain secret. Item 16 on the agenda (available at http://www.shepway.gov.uk/webapp/service/query/cads/doc/cabinet/Agendas/acabt20090318.doc?download=download) lists the item as "Leas Lift Lease Termination".
