Decision Notice D150069MEM

The report sought nominations for Member representatives to attend Customer Panel meetings at the Borough Council’s two Country Parks until May 2016.

Members were advised that Customer Panels were a valuable tool in assisting Borough Council facilities to meet the needs of their customers by seeking views from a cross section of users on the services provided.  The Panels also provided a ‘sounding board’ for potential new initiatives.

Reference was made to the proposals of the Judd School and whether these would have implications for users of Haysden Country Park.  Members were assured that the School were fully aware of the situation and were keen to avoid any negative impact although the situation would be monitored.

RECOMMENDED:  That the Group Leaders, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Community Services and officers, be invited to nominate representatives to serve on the Customer Panels at the two country parks until May 2016.
