AREA PLAN

Minutes:

Members discussed the Area Plan, and raised the following points:

·               The Plan had not been signed off previously as the quality had not been satisfactory

·               The Plan lacked measurable actions, and tended to be general or borough-wide.  It needed to be specific to the area.

·               Despite work carried out by the Chair and officers, there had been no appreciable change in quality.

·               The Committee decided that unless there were plans to use this in any way to allocate resources, they were minded not to sign off nor pursue any future revisions to it, given that it had not been approved all year without any obvious consequence.

 

It was

 

RESOLVED that the Chair would write to the Chief Executive (copying in the Director of Place and Sustainability), to seek advice on whether to sign off the Plan, and whether leaving the Plan unendorsed would result in any resource allocation risks.

ACTION: Chair

Residents could report incidents by calling 020 8489 1335.

 

ACTION: Members requested that an update on the Dog Control Orders be provided in 6 months time, with statistical comparisons before and after implementation.

 

Chuggers – Daliah Barrett, Lead Officer Licensing

 

Since the issue had last been raised at the Forum, Cllr Canver had been working with the Public Fundraising Regulatory Association (PFRA) with a view to developing a site management agreement across the main town centres in the borough. 

 

The main areas that would be covered were likely to be Crouch End Broadway, High Road Wood Green (Turnpike Lane – Wood Green Tube), High Road Tottenham (Seven Sisters Tube – borough boundary), Muswell Hill Broadway and Green Lanes (Endymion Road – Colina Road).  Once these areas are signed off and agreed by the Leader, work would begin with the PFRA to develop the finer details with regards to how many collectors, the defined areas where they can stand as well as the days and times they will be permitted to be in the area.

 

If residents had any suggestions as to which roads could be included and finer details such as times, dates and number of people they could contact Daliah by email – licensing@haringey.gov.uk

 

Hornsey Town Hall – John McGrath, Director Capital Programmes; Laura Bridges, Senior Project Officer; Neil Simon, Asset Manager; Sue Robertson, Mountview; and Liz Sich, Hornsey Town Hall Creative Trust.

 

The presentation is attached to the minutes.  A Memorandum of Understanding was also provided and is attached to the minutes.

 

Residents can contact the project team for further information, or to make comments and suggestions by email – hth@haringey.gov.uk

ACTION: Members requested a breakdown of the interim costs of the project to Haringey to date.

 

Post Meeting note:

The Chair submitted a Members’ Enquiry, and received the following responses:

 

1)     What is the nature of LBH’s financial commitment to Mountview?

a.     Has a specific capital contribution been agreed? Is this an amount, a proportion of the sales receipt, a proportion of the costs, or something else?

Cabinet agreed a specific contribution (a fixed amount) in April 2011 based on the anticipated receipt from the sale of the land minus the costs incurred by the Council to date.  The amount is commercially sensitive and considered exempt information.

 

b.     How will any capital surplus be dealt with? E.g. is there opportunity to consider increasing the amount of affordable housing in the development?

If there is any surplus from the capital receipt it will be used to offset costs incurred by the Council on the project to date.  If there is any surplus remaining it will be added to the Council’s capital fund which is used to fund other capital projects. Changing the affordable housing provision would have a  ...  view the full minutes text for item 5.
