Minutes:
In accordance with Council Procedure Rule No. 5.5 questions had been submitted by Cllr Parry in respect of Fixed Penalty Notices for Littering (25/006/MEM), Cllr Barton in respect of access to council services for those with visual impairments (25/007/MEM) and Cllr Cope in respect of Borough Council support for grass root festivals and community events (25/008/MEM).
Detailed responses to these questions were provided by the Leader of the Borough Council (Cllr Boughton) and the Cabinet Member for Community Services (Cllr Keers). The questions and answers were noted and attached as an Annex to these Minutes.
In response to supplementary questions, the Cabinet Member for Community Services reassured Members that all opportunities for improving customer accessibility continued to be explored. With regard to cancelled events, it was acknowledged that there were a number of reasons why this could happen. Specific information would be collated and assessed to aid the Borough Council’s understanding and to identify what additional support was required, if any.
