To receive any questions or petitions from members of the public

Minutes:

6.1

The Committee received the following questions and a petition from members of the public in attendance at the meeting.

 

6.2

Manuel Flores

 

 

What was the progress on the active neighbourhoods? Manual had completed a survey for Crookes last summer but had not received any updates since then.

 

The Chair explained that the question would be passed onto the South West LAC to respond, as this fell within their remit.

 

6.3

Eamonn Ward

 

 

Eamonn had requested previously that the ward pot allocations were posted online. The 2020/21 allocations should now have been made therefore can that happen. Also, can the LAC make a big effort to reach all eligible organisations, so they know about the 2022/23 ward pots when they were launched?

 

The Chair mentioned the 2020/21 financial year was still ongoing until end of the month (March 2022). It will then be published on the Council’s webpage.

 

The Chair asked Council officers to look whether there was other appropriate places where the ward pots allocations could be published.

 

6.4

Public Questioner 3

 

 

What information was circulated to local organisations to inform them of the work of their Local LAC and how to access the funding available?

 

The Chair explained these LAC meetings were a main way to get information out to local organisations. As previously mentioned, there was a suggestion box within the venue, the Chair welcomed attendees’ views on how this could be widened to improve the amount of information local organisations received.

 

6.5

The Committee received a petition containing 167 signatures ‘Requesting an urgent review of traffic management on the roads leading from psalter lane to hunters bar and requesting residents only parking’
