Open Forum

In accordance with paragraphs 4.16 and 4.17 of the Community Committee Procedure Rules, at the discretion of the Chair a period of up to 10 minutes may be allocated at each ordinary meeting for members of the public to make representations or to ask questions on matters within the terms of reference of the Community Committee.  This period of time may be extended at the discretion of the Chair.  No member of the public shall speak for more than three minutes in the Open Forum, except by permission of the Chair.

 

Minutes:

In accordance with the Community Committee Procedure Rules, the Chair allowed a period of up to 10 minutes for members of the public to make representations or ask questions within the terms of reference of the Community Committee.

 

The following was discussed:

 

Reference was made to issues on Woodhouse Moor during the recent spell of good weather.  These included the playing of loud music, use of barbecues and litter.  There had been quick clear ups by the Council and volunteer groups on the following mornings.  It was requested that notices be replaced with regard to the use of barbecues.  It was also asked if there would be further funding for a Park Warden.  It was reported that contact would be made with Parks and Countryside regarding the issues raised.

 

Further concerns highlighted included the lack of enforcement for Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs); bins being left out on pavements and the need for improved communication with landlords and universities.  In response to these concerns, the following was highlighted:

 

·  There was due to be a meeting with the universities where these concerns would be raised.

·  The enforcement of PSPOs was being carried out on an area by area basis and was currently focussing on Ash Grove.

·  Regulatory work with landlords – it was reported that the trials of the selective licensing schemes would be extended and it was hoped that this would include LS6.

·  Communications had been sent out to residents regarding the situation with bins.  It was an elongated process to carry out enforcement and a suggestion to take a more random approach to areas where enforcement work was carried out would be fed back.

 

Preparations for the forthcoming 420 day were also discussed.
