Minutes:
The committee
received a report from the Head of Streets and Open Spaces regarding the
current status of the Environmental Improvement Programme, and to consider
future proposals.
The committee made the following comments
1. Significant
concerns were raised regarding the manner in which the external contractors
managed the Wulfstan Way project. Strong objections were raised regarding the
proposal to allocate additional money for the project to cover the cost of a
noticeboard. Councillor Heathcock suggested
that the money should be sought from the contractors delivering the work.
2. Regarding
Rectory Terrace, two separate views were raised. Firstly it was suggested that
if the project goes ahead it should be progressed quickly and without delay.
Secondly significant reservations were raised about spending public money on
private land. With reference to the second comment, clarification was requested
on why City Council was responsible for cleaning and maintaining the forecourt
if it was private land. The Head of Streets and Open Spaces agreed to provide
an update outside the meeting.
Resolved (8 votes to 0) to approve the recommendations in the committee report.
