Chance To Influence Budget Proposals At Neighbourhood Committee
9 January 2012
People can learn more about proposals to spend money on projects
where they live by attending their local Peterborough West
neighbourhood committee meeting at the Ramada Hotel, Thorpe
Meadows, Peterborough, on Thursday 12 January 2012 at 7pm.
Proposals to spend Peterborough City Council's neighbourhood
committee budget allocation of £25,000 will be presented on plans
for:
- Two CCTV cameras for The Grange in Mayor's Walk
- The installation of 16 waste and recycling bins across all
wards
- Vehicle activated speed limit signs for Thorpe Road
- A pilot scheme to tackle verge parking issues in Hartwell
Way
Residents will also hear a presentation illustrating the impact
new developments have made to securing school places. Jonathan
Lewis, Assistant Director for Education and Resources at
Peterborough City Council, will also provide an overview of exam
results and report the latest Ofsted feedback for primary and
secondary schools in the area.
People can have their say on how Enterprise Peterborough
services their local area and there will be an opportunity to
comment on progress made to solve verge parking issues following an
update from city council officials.
The meeting will also be a chance for people to find out more
about the city council's planned improvements of transport and
engineering works in the area. A display will also show areas that
were improved over the last year.
Julie Rivett, Peterborough City Council's Neighbourhood Manager
for North and West, said: "Residents attending this meeting will be
able to influence the areas identified for spend from the community
budget as well as challenge and contribute to discussion around the
other agenda items.
"There will also be an open session for members of the public to
raise anything that affects their community and we will be
addressing issues and concerns residents highlighted at our last
meeting."
Ends.
