5 PUBLIC QUESTION TIME

 

The Chairman of the Policy and Resources Committee is asked to consider the following question from Ms Spychal :-

 

Would the Borough Council give considered thought to the way in which they approach Levelling-Up in our borough? Please think carefully about the priorities which the residents, especially those least-well off and struggling in the current, difficult economic climate, will benefit from the most and which will result in a better place for them to live and work.

 

Please remember that the priorities are:-

 

  • The up-skilling of our workforce
  • The renovation of our existing housing stock to exceed the Decent Homes Standard
  • The upgrading of play areas, play equipment and recreation areas for all residents of the borough to enable them to access free, local good quality and safe green spaces.
  • Will the elected members work together to improve the lives of the residents and businesses of the borough and not be unduly influenced by Central Government dictate; and
  • Will the members and officers work in partnership and give an assurance that they will secure a gateway for a better life for all the residents of Great Yarmouth.

17 MOTION ON NOTICE

 

Council is asked to consider the following Motion on Notice from Councillors Smith-Clare; Cordiner Achenbach, Jeal, Robinson-Payne, Waters-Bunn and T Wright.

 

Streetlights across our Borough provide residents safe and visible access to roads, pavements and alleyways. It is therefore essential that all streetlights remain in full working order.

 

At present too many streetlights remain broken and un-repaired.

 

The Council therefore resolves to :

 

1) Ensure that all streetlights are regularly checked and maintained

2) Work to repair any streetlight within 48 hours of a fault being reported.

 

 

18 ANY OTHER BUSINESS
To consider any other business as may be determined by the Chairman of the meeting as being of sufficient urgency to warrant consideration.

"That under Section 100(A)(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, the public be excluded from the meeting for the following item of business on the grounds that it involved the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph 1 of Part I of Schedule 12(A) of the said Act."
