Minutes of previous Meeting To agree that Minutes of the previous Meeting are a correct record for signature by the Chair. Minutes: Members asked for updates on various projects in order to keep local residents informed but were advised that this information was not yet available. They were advised that this would be included in the next biannual progress report in August, but Members could contact report authors in the meantime if they wish.
Members raised concerns around highways work as residents often hold Councillors accountable and get frustrated when projects aren’t delivered. The Community Resources Manager advised that the Transport Team were working on a backlog of previous Neighbourhood Partnership schemes which would be included in the progress report. Members suggested that the relevant officer attends a future meeting to answer questions, submitted in advance where possible.
