Public Participation To receive and note questions asked and statements made from members of the public on general matters of interest and/or matters relating to the work of the Forum. Minutes: The Chairman invited Members of the public to address the Forum.
Mr Spooner, representing the Kings Barton Residents Association addressed the Forum. Prior to the meeting, Mr Spooner had notified officers of the questions he intended to ask. Officers had in turn been able to consult with colleagues at Winchester City Council and Hampshire County Council to document their initial responses to those questions and these were made available to Forum Members and to Mr Spooner at the meeting.
The questions were grouped under the following headings: Walkway and Cycle route improvements, The Park and Ride “Lite” facility, Play and Recreation areas and other issues such as crossings, speed limits and waste bins.
Having read the Officer responses, Mr Spooner raised a number of further points as follows:
Councillor Warwick who attended the Forum as a Hampshire County Council member advised that she would feedback the relevant issues to the County Council. Further to this, Members were advised that it was planned for the next meeting of the Forum to hold a fuller discussion regarding Highways and Transport issues and accordingly, offices from the County Council would be in attendance. |
