Flamingo Land will also discover whether their £20million plans will become a reality of building a fun fair on the South Bay site.

The topic has caused much controversy in the town with widespread opposition to the impending vote on the demolition.

Members of the public can attend the full council meeting at the Town Hall today (Monday January 9) at 2pm.
