Open Session
An
opportunity for any member of the public, elected and co-opted
members of the Neighbourhood Committee to raise anything that
affects your area and to suggest items for future
meetings.
Minutes:
Attendees of the meeting were given the
opportunity to ask questions and raise issues affecting the areas
in which they lived. These included:
Development at Fellowes Gardens
In a discussion held regarding the recent
Cross Keys improvement project for Fellowes Gardens, the
Neighbourhood Manager South and a representative from Cross Keys
Homes, responded to questions comments and concerns raised over the
works. In summary responses
included:
- There was a number of snagging items
which were inevitable for a project of its size and
nature. The issues highlighted were being addressed, and in addition,
contractors would not receive payment until the corrections had
been made. There had also been a delay
in conducting the corrections due to poor weather conditions;
- A completion time for the project
had not been identified due to weather constraints; and
- A formal consultation would be
conducted with residents regarding the implementation and result of
Fellowes Gardens improvements.
Traffic Issues
Following a discussion regarding traffic
issues, Councillors Harper and Rush responded to comments and
concerns raised by members of the public. In summary the response were as follows:
- Councillors were liaising with the
Highways Team over the potential installation of a small roundabout
on the A605 and B1095 near Ponders Bridge Road and Kings Dyke Way,
in order to alleviate the traffic issues in the area;
- In a recent traffic survey conducted
by the Highways Team for the proposed Magna Park area, results had
highlighted that there were no issues; however, the survey
conducted between the hours of 10am and 3pm, was deemed inadequate
in order to capture the traffic issues that were happening for the
area; and
- Concerns were raised by a member of
public over the forthcoming Planning application to develop the
pharmacy and surgery located at Stanground and that the development
may cause traffic and access issues, due to the road
unsuitability.
The Dell, Woodston
- A member of the public raised
concerns regarding the poor condition of The Dell in Woodston.
Adult Social Care Review
A discussion was held over the recent
consultation process to reform the services provided for Adult
Social Care. Councillor Cereste
responded to comments, questions and concerns raised, which in
summary included:
- Lead Officers and Councillors
conducting the review were a part of a large team and that it was
not justified to deem them incompetent over consultation letters
that had been held up through the postal process;
- The City was experiencing a number
of financial cuts from the Government and all services were being
reviewed in order to streamline services. The changes that were proposed would bring the
Council in line with other Local Authorities, which was aimed to
provide better services; and
- The public were encouraged to
submit, in writing to the Leaders Office, any comments, questions
or concerns they had regarding any services provided by
PCC. Each case submitted to the Leaders
Office would be investigated and the findings would be provided in
order to communicate the accurate facts.
