Review of Recent Events - in council

Further to our last post, this is the first significant post to the blog in a few weeks.

Those with good memories will remember that before the children went back to school we had something that resembled a summer.

Committees in council are kept to a minimum during the summer but we have been out and about within the ward.  As there are clearly more important issues within the ward at the moment, we'll just give a brief summary of recent events.

In Council, Church Gresley councillors have been present at the following meetings:

Environment & Development Services - 22nd August

Key issue with relevance to Church Gresley was to note the progress of the kerbside recycling scheme (see separate page) and also to note progress on the Community Infrastructure Levy and also the Draft Local Plan.

Housing and Community Services - 29th August

Active Nation presented a report about participation rates at Green Bank and Etwall Leisure Centres.  There has been a significant increase in participation over the last year which is very encouraging.  The success brings the challenge of managing capacity.

Finance and Management - 5th September

Several reports relating to the Budget, Corporate Plan and the Community Infrastructure Levy.
