ACTIONS ARISING FROM THE FORUM

Minutes:

The following actions were identified from discussions during the Forum:

 

Action 1

That an email be sent to the Borough Commander for a response as to why there was such a lengthy delay in repairing / restoring the use of the WHL SNT mobile telephone number.  ACTION: Chair.

 

Action 2

Issues with regards to SNT ward panel meetings and the proposals to engage via email – more information was needed as to the reasons for reaching this decision, as this would exclude some residents in the wards who did not have access to email.  ACTION: Safer Neighbourhood Team

 

Post Meeting Note Sgt Graham Brazier, White Hart Lane Safer Neighbourhood Team

Ward Panel meetings are made up of partners who work on the wards, and often correspond via email.  These are not public meetings.  Where there are public meetings in the future, they will be advertised on the display boards in Bruce Castle Park, Tower Gardens Park and the Selby Centre.

Following the update on potholes, Members requested that a comparison of the whole borough was provided – number of complaints made, number of repairs carried out (both planned maintenance and in response to requests).  ACTION: Michael McNicholas, Client and Performance Manager, Place and Sustainability

Michael McNicholas to feed back to Councillor Bull on the issues raised with regards to the junction near 299 White Hart Lane where there was a dip in the road with exposed wires, causing accidents.  ACTION: Michael McNicholas, Client and Performance Manager, Place and Sustainability

 

Action 5

Speeding issues on Great Cambridge Road / Roundway (West Arm) – Councillor Adje had previously raised issues with speeding on this part of the road with Highways but had not received any response.  ACTION: Michael McNicholas, Client and Performance Manager, Place and Sustainability

·        Garden waste not collected from flats unless residents telephoned Veolia to make a special collection.  ACTION: Veolia
