Residents were given opportunity to raise questions.

 

Q – Scheme 11-11, could we try to encourage residents to use the existing salt bins?

A - We are not sure if we will be using this money on funding additional salt bins this year. Dringhouses and Woodthorpe ward committee fund the highest number of salt bins compared to other wards. Unused salt bins may be removed. This year we have also introduced temporary salt bags dropped in certain locations at no cost to the ward committee.

 

Q – Scheme 11 – 02, Is that path not covered with tarmac already?

A – NMO will visit the site shortly, if it’s only part of the path that is not covered then obviously the cost will be lower and we will be able to use that money to fund other schemes.

 

Q – Scheme 11 – 10, when the cost will be confirmed?

A – The site visit is required to assess the price.

 

Q – Scheme 11 – 07, what does it mean to improve street lighting?

A – We are looking at streets where the lighting is poor, existing lights are not sufficient enough.

 

Q – What about clean up and improvements to Knavesmire Wood, it was the last year scheme and it looks like nothing was done there?

A – A clean up took place earlier in the year. Working with the parks team a bench will be installed. Any funding remaining will be used for a new information board at the site.

 

Q – Is it possible to partly fund the schemes and use the money to support other schemes from the list?

A – We are monitoring the schemes and the transfer of funds is possible, however some of them may require full funding due to the nature of the scheme.

 

Q – When the budget will be decided?

A – It should happen in about four weeks time.
