The Council Chamber
The following are some of my notes from the council meeting. This was the last meeting before the elections on May 5. They are not a full record of the meeting as I do not have space to do that, all the mistakes are mine. If you would like any more information please contact me.
The War Memorial fund has been kick started by a donation of £5,000 from a local company. The appeal for more funds is ongoing.
Clr Lee addressed the issue of fly tipping. Enterprise Peterborough and Peterborough City Council were committed to keeping Peterborough as clean as possible.
The amount of rubbish fly tipped has reduced by 182 tons, although incidents had risen by 29. It is suspected some of the culprits who fly tip are from outside our area.
Clr Cereste commented on Cathedral square. Planters and hanging baskets would be installed shortly when the risk of frost has passed. The plan for the area was that all planters would be moveable. Trees could be added if they were in planters and thus moveable. Originally a row of trees was planned, but retailers had objected so this had been abandoned.
Neighbourhood committees were discussed. Clr Cereste guaranteed his support for these, and hoped they would grow and mature with more powers being evolved down to the local voter as he/she became involved.
The new 5 year Long Term Transport Strategy and Local Transport Plan was voted on and passed. It was agreed that parking on grass verges a problem within the city, would be tackled hard.
The Hydrotherapy pool at St.George's centre was discussed, and supported. 200 users had reported they would like to use this facility. Donations were invited from councillor’s budgets – Cllr Wilkinson has already made a donation from her fund.
As stated this is by no means a full record of the meeting, and I would like to thank everyone who welcomed us to the meeting.
