Agenda item

5.1

Barry Bellamy, High Green Action Trust, raised a number of questions regarding Amey’s performance as part of the Streets Ahead Project, namely:-

(a)       In the light of evidence of alleged incidents of poor performance, which had included, in his opinion, lack of planning, little or no supervision and poor health and safety, was the City Council supposed to be overseeing the works?

(b)       In the light of his evidence regarding dangerous excavations on footpaths, and that such incidents were reported as taking 28 days to investigate, when were Amey going to take the necessary action to address this issue?

(c)        They were also putting new tops on old street lights, which were going to be replaced by new ones, when the new street lights had been erected next to the old ones.  Who was going to pay the costs in terms of Amey having to dig up newly laid footpaths and to remove the old street lights and connect the new ones?

5.2

The Chair stated that the responses to the above questions would be provided as part of next item of business.
