Issue - meetings

To hear evidence from the petition organiser and a verbal update from the relevant Head of Service.

The Chair explained to the committee that that petition organiser was not present and invited the Democratic Services Manager to detail the variety of methods used to make contact, which included email, letter and through a ward councillor.

The Head of Service Operations explained that the bin had been moved at residents request, after the petition submission. There had been no change in litter levels and therefore no change to the recommendation. The residents clearly took pride in their green space.

During discussion it was proposed that officers were thanked for responding to residents in moving the bin and for work undertaken on the report and that residents were thanked for upkeep of the area.

The Chair confirmed that there were other processes available to address individual bin issues.

The Chair moved the recommendation as amended, seconded by Councillor Cookson which following a unanimous vote was CARRIED.
