Issue - meetings

Cabinet received a report following the presentation of petitions at the Council meeting of 17 December 2014.

         The purpose of the report was to update Cabinet on the progress made in relation to these petitions, these being:

i)             Petition relating to Bushfield Bowls Club; and

ii)            Petition relating to Bretton Library.

         Cabinet considered the report and RESOLVED:

         To note the actions taken in respect of petitions presented to Council.

         REASONS FOR THE DECISION

As the petitions presented in the report had been dealt with by Cabinet Members or officers, it was appropriate that the action taken was reported to Cabinet, prior to it being included within the Executive’s report to full Council.

The proposals in respect of bowling greens had been deferred for phase 2 of the Budget consultation. Phase 2 of the budget also covered the proposals for the library service. The petitions received would be considered alongside the Council’s analysis of all further consultation responses received in respect of phase 2 budget proposals.

         ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS CONSIDERED

         There were no alternative options considered.
