Nick Healey, Area Team 3 (NE) Manager presented the report.  A number of Members mentioned that residents are not happy with the patching to road surfaces and feel it degrades the appearance of the neighbourhood.  It was suggested that Residents’ Associations work with their Divisional Member and the Local Committee to address this issue.

The Local Committee discussed the options put forward for the 2015 – 2016 allocations and agreed to adopt Option B as amended to read £145,000 Pooled Revenue and up to £100,000 Pooled Capital for the financial year 2015 – 2016; see new recommendation (iv). Proposed: Cllr Smith-Ainsley. Seconded: Cllr Frazer.
