Committee Membership
Phil Hullah has joined the Committee. Unfortunately he had to pull out of attending at the last moment so the meeting welcomed him in his absence.

Snickett CCTV
Carol contacted Councillor Oulds for an update, but he was apparently unaware of the history and any progress so is finding out.
Carol will chase Councillor Oulds for an update.

Street Maintenance and Cleaning
The Snickett was cleaned before the meeting. Jackie conversed with the Council cleaning team who were not clear that it was their responsibility until they made a phone call to check.
Carol will email the Council to remind them that Metronet have contracted the Council to clean the Snickett.

Following Carol’s efforts the parking bay lines are due to be painted by the end of June 2010.

The large puddle that remains after rain by the Futon shop wall has been referred to the Council’s Drainage section.

Fly Tipping
Phil Hullah has asked the Council to look into putting up a tipping notice on the Futon shop wall opposite LMC. The meeting felt this would have little impact beyond creating yet more signage. CCTV was thought to be more effective.
Carol will progress CCTV covering the LMC end of the road with Councillor Oulds


LMC Planning Application
Planning permission was approved on 21st April subject to Legal Agreement. There is no information on when work will start.

Subsequent to the meeting Graham has read the Planning approval document. Of interest is that there is no approval for restaurant use, there will be underground parking space for 10 cars with access via a car lift and the existing upper frontage of the corner building be preserved.

Council Matters
The Homefields Councillors were re-elected in the May election.

Neighbourhood Policing
Sgt Jonathan Adcock has retired and has been replaced by Sgt Mick Rawling. The full team is now  Sgt Mick Rawling, PC Antony Murray, PC Kevin Howes, PCSO Kieran Leighton, PCSO Mark James, Ikechukwu Ebosie.
For more information see the Safer Neighbourhoods Team post.

Dates of future meetings
The meeting agreed to hold the AGM in November with a Committee meeting to proceed it in October.

With relatively few issues to progress the meeting agreed to review the need to meet before October over the summer via email.
