It wouldn’t be necessary to ask these types of question if the council was transperant in the first place,

This doesn’t answer what was actually paid, but Cr Bede Laracy tells us that they were told that because the golf club sold enough tickets it didn’t need the subsidy.

We can’t see why a subsidy agreement should be “commercially sensitive” — that is an excuse that KCDC has long trotted out for secrecy and Crs were told afterwards this was happening, not beforehand. Not good enough, Mr Edwards.
