Provisional Local Improvement Schemes
Your chance to comment on the provisional schemes list and to influence the decision on how the budget for 2010/11 will be spent.
Minutes:
Residents were given the opportunity to discuss any of the schemes before the councillors decided on the list for 2010-11.
Q. How many seats are there in the Skelton Play area?
A. If successful there will be 5 seats in the area.
There was a question about the location of the benches as on the ballot they were suggested that they would be on The Pasture. This was noted.
The members explained that they weighed up the expressions of interest, they considered the number of people who supported each scheme and from what area they came. They looked for, and discounted, what appeared to be ‘tactical voting’ – supporting schemes in one area and against all in other areas. They took into account expressions of support from previous ward committee meetings and from speaking to residents.
While the Councillors and Neighbourhood Management Officer discussed the schemes the residents had a break for coffee and biscuits.
Once the decision had been made the Councillors went through which schemes had been approved. Of the 27 proposed schemes 18 were approved for funding. (See list below)
