·       Park & Arbourthorne

·       Darnall

·       Manor Castle

·       Richmond

The Community Services Manager mentioned that when the LACs first launched, a survey was undertaken to ask members of the public what they wanted the LAC to focus on. Following that survey, 6 key themes were identified. These were as follows: -

·       Environment

·       Community Safety & Crime

·       Community & Neighbourhoods

·       Children &Young People

·       Transport & Highways

·       Health & Wellbeing

Under each theme, priorities were identified which were shares to the attendees as part of the presentation.

7.4

A member of the public raised concerns around the lack of projects and funding mentioned for the Tinsley area.

The Community Services Manager explained that application forms were sent out to all the community groups for this LAC and that Tinsley were a part of this. The application form was for communities to request funding for their areas. It was added that although this process had already passed, it did not mean that the LAC could not look at Tinsley again and identify anything that area needed.

7.5

A member of the public raised concerns around vehicles turning right on St Lawrence/Sheffield Road.

The Chair explained that she had met with Clive Betts and Transport & Highways Officers to look at possible solutions and were optimistic that an engineering solution had been found to the St Lawrence/Sheffield Road turning.
