Issue - meetings

The officer presented the report which had been included within the agenda papers.   The following comments were made in response;

-          The Events and Finance Sub Group would discuss the incident and Funderworld (ACTION: AS to report when appropriate)

-          Officers and residents had met the organisers of PRIDE and a phone number would be provided in case of any concerns during the event.

-          A Member reported that in his opinion the Foodies Festival which had taken place had been too heavy in food outlets and had less of an education element than in the past.  The demonstrations that had taken place also appeared to be oversubscribed.  Officers agreed to report comments back to the organisers for consideration in terms of their programme the following year.

It was agreed that the last meeting of the Events and Finance Sub Group would be discussed at the end of the agenda in private session.  This was due to elements of commercial sensitivity within the report.
