Minutes:

RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY: That the minutes of the meeting held on 5 July 2017 be approved.

 

In relation to actions from the last meeting it was noted that there was no funding available for public realm art installations. The issue of benches being installed in King Edward Court had been raised with the leaseholder, however they were on hold as different market installations were being trialled.

 

At recent civic events arrangements had been made by the Mayoral team to enable elderly veterans to park in the library car park. The service on 11 November would inevitably be larger so there would be more demand.

 

v  Action: The Chairman to raise the issue with the Mayoral team.

 

Garry Williams confirmed that he had not received any further information in relation to customer services calls being times out.

 

v  Action: The Chairman to investigate on behalf of Mr Williams

 

The Property Service Lead commented that the construction Management Plan for York House was a planning matter.

 

v  Action: The Property Service Lead to check the document was in the public domain, send the pdf to the Chairman who would then deliver copies in appropriate areas.

 

Brian Rayner commented that he had not received any information from the Waste Team detailing the official policy of using the Chalvey Tip in Slough as a borough resident.

 

v  Action: The Chairman to investigate on behalf of Mr Rayner.

 

The Property Services Lead confirmed that the York House business case was no longer commercially sensitive and he would therefore now be able to make it publically available, within the next two weeks.

 

v  Action: The Property Services Lead to ensure the business case was made available.

 

It was noted that details of the Visitor Survey were now available on the Windsor.gov website.

 

Brian Rayner reported that the clock outside the Thai restaurant had stopped again. The Windsor Town Manager confirmed that this had been reported. The power supply had been switched off when the bus stop had been moved. A new power supply had been put in place and would be connected shortly.

 

v  Action: The Town Manager to check when the clock would be reconnected.

 

Brian Rayner asked if any concessions were available to help residents to get into town to undertake business at the library. The Chairman commented that it cost more to park at the library than at York House. The Head of Public Protection agreed that it was different but that an Advantage Card discount was available. Options could be looked into for Members’ to consider. Councillor Bicknell commented that there had been no public parking at York House during the day anyway. The issue was the lack of bays outside the library. Councillor Quick suggested that the owner of the empty property on the corner of Victoria Street be approached to see if the car park there could be used until works began. Councillor Bicknell confirmed that he had written to officers earlier that day  to ask for this to happen.
