Open Forum Refer to the ‘Information for the Public’ section for rules on speaking. Minutes: 1. Ms Sinnott asked when the Bath House play park
would be refurbished. Councillor Brown
responded that, as Petersfield ward had a higher
number of play areas per % of young population, Coleridge had been given a
higher priority at the last meeting. It was hoped however that the
refurbishment would be prioritised in the next round of projects. Councillors
Walsh, Marchant-Daisely, Johnson and Moghadas expressed support for this to be prioritised
during the next round. 2.
Mr Harvey asked
what specific changes had been made to the Local Plan as a result of the public
consultation. He also highlighted the
difficulty in obtaining a hard copy of the final document. Councillor Blencowe responded that, as a result of the issues and
options consultation, a number of changes to the wording and the ‘emphasis’ of
the overall plan had been made. It was noted that subtle changes had been made
to the wording of R10 emphasising the need to carefully review highway access.
The Local Plan had been discussed at a number of council committees and at a
Full Council meeting, and had been amended as a result of the public
consultation. Councillors Brown and Walsh confirmed that resident’s views regarding
R10 had been fed into the process and the issues had been raised with officers.
Action Point: Councillor Roberts to liaise
with Mr Harvey outside of the meeting to obtain a hard copy of the Local Plan. 3.
Dr Eva asked for
an update on the agreed 12 month programme to ensure that buildings with a
community or civic interest had adequate free and safe cycle stands. Councillor Smart confirmed that she had raised the issue of Polling
Stations with officers and they had agreed to add cycle parking to the list of
criteria for selecting stations. However it was noted that this would be one of
many different considerations and would have to be balanced against other
criteria when the final selection of venues was made. It was also noted that providing cycle stands at buildings owned by the
City Council would be more straightforward than at buildings owned by third
parties, where additional funding may be required. Councillor Johnson confirmed that funding for four new cycle racks at
the River Lane Centre had been agreed. Dr Eva further emphasised the need for more detail on the number of
buildings identified, the percentage with adequate cycle parking provision and
the likelihood that the programme would be completed by December 2013. Action Point:
Councillor Blencowe to discuss the issue further with the City Council’s
Cycling and Walking Officer. 4.
Dr Eva highlighted
the longstanding issue of large parts of Riverside being used as a car park. Councillor Whitehead confirmed that she had discussed this with Evan
Laughlin and it was agreed that the issues needed to be progressed. Councillor Johnson confirmed that he had raised the issue with the
Project Delivery and Environment Team. He had been informed that, in relation
to funding for the Stourbridge Common end of the Riverside, funding was
available from the Minor Highways Budget. In relation to the Riverside bridge
restriction near to the Tesco footopath/cycle path,
no feedback had been received following public consultation and the County
Council had not received any formal objections. It had been agreed with the officer that they would double check that
this was the case before progressing to the next stage of making the order. An
update on TRO's, including the riverside restrictions would then be included in
the next Environmental Improvement Programme report brought to East Area
Committee. Action Point:
Councillor Whitehead to keep Dr Eva informed of progress on the issue. 5.
Dr Eva raised the
issue of the Riverside Moorings Consultation and questioned the delay in the
results being brought back to the Environment Scrutiny Committee. Councillor Roberts confirmed that he had arranged a meeting with the
Executive Councillor for Public Places to discuss the issue in more detail. Councillor Johnson expressed his frustration at the delay and
highlighted the need for a quick resolution. Councillor Blencowe confirmed that the Executive Councillor would be
responsible for making the final decision, with the Environment Scrutiny
Committee holding her to account. Action Point: Councillor Blencowe to discuss
the reasons for the delay with the Executive Councillor and council officers
and keep Dr Eva informed. |
