The Committee received and noted a report of the Executive Director, Place setting out the position on outstanding petitions that were being investigated. Members requested that the description of petition number 5 be amended to outline the reasons for the petition.

The Head of Transport, Traffic and Parking Services reported that he had liaised with members of the South West Community Assembly in relation to the request for improved parking facilities for customers using Millhouses Shopping Centre. The use of the Abbeydale Grange School site had been ruled out for safety reasons. Millhouses Pub had offered the use of their car park. There was, however, no immediate solution and local businesses were not supportive of any parking restrictions in the area.
