B
C
C
C
Members.
Our
lord
mayor
and
his
family
have
been
going
through
a
very
difficult
few
weeks
on
behalf
of
the
borough.
May
I
offer
our
deepest
christian
sympathies
and
assure
the
whole
family
that
they
are
in
our
thoughts
and
prayers
at
this
sad
time,
members,
it's
also
appropriate
to
mention
another
tragedy,
and
that
was
the
plane
crash
at
newton
ards
toward
the
tail
end
of
last
week
and
and
unsadly
mr
philip
murdoch,
who
was
the
managing
director
of
the
security
firm
in
visit
envision.
C
C
D
Thank
you,
lord
mayor,
can
I
just
be
associated
with
the
the
comments
and
in
terms
of
the
condolences
for
the
lord
mayor
and
for
the
the
family
of
those
two
folk
who
lost
their
lives
in
the
plane
crash
as
well.
I
went
to
see
and
paul
and
family
the
other
night
and,
as
you
had
mentioned,
lord
mayor,
very,
very
difficult
to
lose
your
mother
after
such
a
short
illness.
D
You
know
there's
the
shock
of
that,
but
the
loser
whenever
she
is
in
a
different
country
and
all
the
complexities
and
and
things
and
revolved
around
you
know
getting
getting.
The
remains
home
and
stuff
has
been
a
very
difficult
and
few
weeks
for
them.
So
just
on
behalf
of
the
party
just
to
extend
our
sympathies
to
the
lord
mayor,
and
especially
to
fiona
and
the
kids,
and
at
this
difficult
thing.
Thank
you.
E
F
Deputy
lord
murr,
just
like
others.
I
want
to
be
associated
with
the
remarks
that
you
need
in
respect
of
our
lord
murder
and
the
tragic
death
and
distant
fields
of
his
mother-in-law
and
indeed
extend
our
sympathy
to
him
and
his
early
ramirez
and
the
whiter
family
on
such
a
an
untimely
death
and
far
distant
land
and
equally,
I
want
to
be
associated
with
the
sympathy
to
the
family
of
philip
murdoch
on
the
miss
money
as
a
result
of
the
tragic
air
crash
in
our
new
nordic
airport.
G
H
C
I
I
So
I
rather
approach
the
business
about
the
sponsorship
of
a
roundabout
or
grass
road
verge
and
was
directed
to
send
relevant
paperwork
and
documents
to
the
business
so
that
they
could
complete
and
send
back
to
the
department,
and
so
the
business
as
requested
did
as
they
were,
asked
and
submitted
all
the
relevant
paperwork
to
the
department.
Only
two,
some
weeks
later
have
received
a
response.
That
said,
oh
sorry,
we're
reviewing
our
policy
and
we're
not
taking
any
more
sponsorship
agreements
on
at
this
point
in
time.
I
I
do
want
those
who
just
acknowledge.
I
did
then
escalate
the
issue
to
the
minister
and
I
do
appreciate
a
very
swift
response
that
I
received
from
him.
I
mean
I,
I
emailed
him
on
the
third
of
july,
and
the
response
was
back
by
the
11th
of
july.
I
guess
he
just
wasn't
as
busy
some
of
the
rest
of
us
on
the
11th
of
july,
but
I
do
obviously
appreciate
the
the
swift
response.
I
However,
just
to
note
my
disappointment
that
at
this
point
in
time,
we
have
not
just
one
business,
but
a
number
of
businesses
that
I'm
currently
aware
of
prepared
to
take
on
you
know.
Roundabouts
ruled
verges
because
they
are
unsightly.
We
have
seen
them.
We've
complained
about
them.
Counselors
have
been
raised
in
this
chamber
time
and
time
again
and
for
whatever
reason,
the
southern
division
or
the
or
dfi
rules
have
decided.
I
So
I
would
ask
the
department
to
explain
this
fairly
quickly
to
try
and
get
a
grip
on
their
inaction
on
their
neglect,
for
rude
verges
and
roundabouts
and
the
shameful
way
that
they
leave
them
when
they
are
supposedly
cut.
You
need
to
do
a
better
job
with
a
hatchet
yourself
or
maybe
deputy
lormer.
You
will
bail
some
of
it
up
for
us,
maybe
with
one
of
your
agricultural
vehicles.
Thank
you.
C
J
C
C
C
Thank
you,
alderman
spears.
Your
comments
have
been
noted.
Thank
you.
No
other
lights
are
hans
members
agenda
item
five,
the
chief
executive's
report
and
we
have
several
items
for
for
decision
starting
with
item
5.1
community
planning,
council
contribution
to
participatory
budgeting
and
elaine
gillespie
is
going
to
take
us.
L
C
M
Thank
you,
chair
and
good
evening
members.
The
report
relates
to
cohen's
primary
school,
seeking
a
lot
of
support
from
council
sport
and
I
are
currently
have
been
accepting
expressions
of
interest
applications
for
your
school.
Our
club
grant
program,
marcie
coleman's
have
submitted
an
application
to
upgrade
their
facilities
and
static
service,
and
that
will
hopefully
allow
them
to
offer
a
wider
range
of
activities
at
the
school
and
the
wider
community.
M
As
part
of
the
assessment
process,
applications
are
asked
to
inform
the
local
clients
and
also
seek
a
letter
of
support
from
the
council.
So
there
are
no
financial
issues
in
regards
kinds
of
support,
and
today
the
recommendation
is
seeking
approval
to
proceed
to
offer
letter
support.
Thank
you,
chair.
J
Thank
you,
deputy
lord
mer.
I
am
happy
to
oppose
this.
There's
no
financial
implications
for
the
council
and
understand
that
sports
ni.
This
is
just
an
expression
of
an
interesting
new
budget
for
it,
so
we're
just
gathering
interest
at
the
stage
on
part
of
the
processes
that
the
council
send
the
letters
for
this
school.
So
I'm
happy
to
propose
that
deputy
lord
mayor.
Thank
you.
C
A
A
Just
a
little
tiny
bit
of
background
because
it's,
I
know,
you've
all
read
the
report,
but
just
to
highlight
that
council's
recovery
and
growth
framework
identifies
the
need
to
pursue
international
trade
and
investment
opportunities
that
are
closely
aligned
for
the
borough's
capabilities
and
technological
advantages
as
well
and
economic
development
services.
We've
been
working
closely
with
invest
northern
ireland
offices
in
the
us
and
the
northern
ireland
bureau
and
washington
as
well,
to
find
potential
destinations
and
strong
partnerships
to
promote
the
borough
and
to
attract
investment.
A
And
that
therefore
brings
me
to
the
decision
in
front
of
members
this
evening.
It
is
recommended
that
an
initial
fact-finding
delegation
for
up
to
three
people,
led
by
the
lord
mayor
of
the
borough,
be
undertaken
to
attend
the
transatlantic
conference
on
the
8th
of
the
9th
of
september
in
cleveland
ohio
and
to
arrange
high-level
meetings
with
the
mayor
of
cleveland,
political
and
industry
leaders.
D
Thank
you,
lord
mayor,
and
thanks
to
nicole
for
the
report
and
nagara
was
at
the
the
party
group
leaders
illuminated
as
well,
and
we
did
go
through
this
in
quite
a
bit
a
bit
of
detail.
I
suppose
we
have
to
measure
these
things
on
on
success
and
what
success
it
brings
and
I
think
the
last
sort
of
delegation
behind
that
I
think
nicole
outlined
it
was
it
brought
an
order
to
three
quarters
of
a
million
into
the
into
the
bar
in
the
local
business.
D
F
All
right
deputy
lord
mayor,
I
have
read
the
report.
Indeed,
I
was
speaking
to
nicola
a
the
other
day
about
this
matter
and,
as
we
know,
it
was
discussed
at
party
group
leaders
last
week
and
there
was
consensus
on
it
and
I
haven't
read
the
report
and
now
that
it
has
been
proposed,
I'm
quite
happy
to
second
seconded.
C
C
L
The
working
group
have
estimated
that
a
total
funding
pool
of
between
70
to
90
000
is
needed
to
build
on
last
year's
successful
event,
and
today,
funding
of
47
000
has
been
informally
secured
from
a
range
of
both
statutory
and
community
and
boundary
sector
partners.
This
is
an
increase
from
the
44
000
ed
that
was
in
the
report.
Last
week.
L
Officers
are
working
to
ensure
these
commitments
are
now
formalized,
however,
without
a
more
substantial
overall
funding
pot
being
identified
within
the
next
two
to
three
weeks.
The
working
group
will
have
to
reassess
and
review
how
enough
the
process
can
proceed
this
year
last
year
and
this
year
council's
contribution
to
the
process
was
by
financing
the
process
itself
and
for
the
officer
time
needed
to
manage
this.
L
However,
to
ensure
that
the
successful
project
is
able
to
go
ahead
again
this
year
as
planned,
it's
recommended
that
council
consider
making
a
thirty
thousand
pound
contribution
to
the
overall
funding
part
in
consultation
with
colleagues
in
community
development
finance.
It's
suggested
that
this
may
be
considered
from
current
fat
reserves
or,
alternatively,
members
may
wish
to
consider
funding
from
general
reserves.
C
N
Thank
you
yeah,
and
thank
you
to
you,
lynn,
as
well
for
the
presentation
I
can
remember
when
this
participatory
budgeting
scheme
was
run
last
time
round,
and
it
did
seem
to
generate
a
lot
of
interest
both
from
groups
applying
to
the
fund
and
then
those
members
who
were
living
within
the
various
des
voting
for
projects
that
they
wanted
to
fund.
I
think
nearly
all
or,
if
not
all
alien.
N
One
by
the
feedback
that
I
did
get
aliens
that
some
groups
were
maybe
smaller
than
others
and
felt
that
they
were.
They
didn't
really
know
how
to
sort
of
market
themselves
to
the
best
you
know
on
social
media
and
so
on.
Could
any
you
know,
training
or
guidance
be
provided
for
groups
who
wish
to
go
through
the
process
to
say,
as
you
mentioned,
we
are
talking
about
a
higher
level
of
revenue
potentially
coming
in
for
us,
so
it
might
generate
interest
for
more
groups.
N
Would
groups
who
wish
to
participate
in
this
process
be
given
that
kind
of
movie
training
or
guidance
from
alexa
community
plan,
and
so
on
that
they
could
maximize
the
potential
to
market
themselves
on
their
projects
within
this
framework?
Maybe
that's
just
the
question
for
earlier
in
every
learner.
L
Thank
you,
deputy
lord,
fair
and
yes,
and
part
of
the
reason
that
the
process
this
year
is
being
recommended
as
an
in-person.
In-Rim
event
is
because
we
recognized
the
difficulties
last
time
when
we
ran
it
remotely
for
small
groups
to
be
able
to
market
themselves
and
to
be
able
to
pull
together
the
necessary
video
to
be
able
to
promote
their
project.
L
This
year,
the
pb
working
group
will
be
working
with
all
applicants
to
help
them
at
the
marketplace.
Event
where
they'll
be
able
to
in
person
talk
through
what
their
projects
about
so
there'll,
be
less
skills
needed
and
mistreated,
and
needed
for
groups
to
be
able
to
do
that
through
social
media
as
all
of
the
the
marketplace
event
and
the
promotion
of
the
projects
themselves
and
all
of
the
voting
will
be
done
in
person
in
room.
Hopefully
that
answers
the
members
question.
N
I
Thank
you,
debbie
dormer,
and
thanks
alien
for
the
information.
Okay,
you
know
in
principle.
I
have
no
objection
to
this
this
evening
and
I'm
I'm
not
making
any
objection
to
I'm
happy
to
second
the
recommendation
at
this
stage.
One
of
the
concerns
we
do
have,
though,
that
we'd
like
to
see
this,
because
I'm
conscious
we're
talking
about
money
for
groups
and
community
groups
under
this
participatory
budget
and
and
then
talking
about
taking
money
out
of
fap
or
reserves
or
whatever.
I
However,
that
works
also
mindful
that
we
have
to
go
through
a
process
of
reviewing
the
entire
fab
program
and
later,
some
of
the
conversations
we've
had
before
about
multi-year
funding
potentially
and
looking
at
all
those
other
options
on
the
table,
and
I
don't
understand
why
we
have
another
community
funding
scheme
separate
from
the
one
that
already
exists,
and
I
wouldn't
want
the
two
of
them
to
run
apart
from
each
other
either.
So
you
know,
I
think
something
like
this.
I
If
this
is
to
be
an
annual
thing
or
an
ongoing
thing,
that
the
community
partnership
panel
wants
to
look
at,
it
should
be
potentially
looked
at
in
the
round
of
the
overall
financial
assistance
policy
for
community
grounds.
In
that
way,
that
would
certainly
be
our
view
because
we're
now
starting
the
money,
the
waters
being
open
and
other
fumbling
streams
and
other
opportunities
and
working
through
that
the
administrative
burden
already
on
staff
through
fab
is
quite
cumbersome
and
we're
trying
to
get
to
a
place
where
it's,
maybe
not
so
much.
I
And
as
part
of
that,
I
understand
appreciate
that
we
only
allow
two
grants
per
year
per
group
and
but
at
times
we
do
allow
some
exclusions.
Maybe
this
could
be
one
of
the
exclusions
as
part
of
the
thought
process,
but
the
fact
that
we
would
have
two
separate
policies.
The
operator
this
under
it
doesn't
sit
comfortably
with
us
and
seems
to
be
out
of
kilter
with
the
review.
I
L
L
Just
to
reassure
members
as
well
as
far
as
the
administrative
burden
goes,
that
will
not.
It
will
not
cause
any
further
administrative
burden
on
the
fab
team.
This
is
not
a
fat
process,
it's
being
run
separately.
The
partnership
and
their
working
group
have
a
process
for
this,
and
the
administration
for
that
is
being
picked
up,
both
through
the
community
plan
and
team
and
through
other
community
planning
partners.
L
I
I
have-
and
I
appreciate
the
the
number
of
partners
and
appreciate,
doesn't
put
extra
administrative
burden
on
the
finance
assistance
policy
team,
but
it
puts
an
administrative
burden
on
somebody
effectively.
What
we're
doing
is
setting
up
a
new
process
with
potentially
groups
having
to
submit
the
same
type
of
information
that
they
have
to
submit
the
faf
every
time
they
apply
there
and
also,
then
I
I
would
just
like
to
see
it
all
streamlined.
I
I
said:
if
we're
transforming
this
account,
so
we
can't
transform
one
silo
into
a
more
efficient,
say
hello,
and
this
seems
to
be
a
wee
bit
silo
like
for
me,
and
all
I
would
like
to
see
is
this
tied
into
review
of
the
finance
assistance
policy
going
forward,
because
it's
community
grants
and
the
community
out
there
see
them
as
community
grants,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
the
process
is
streamlined
and
straightforward.
Thank
you.
C
C
L
Thank
you,
deputy
lord
mayor
and
as
those
on
governance,
resource
and
strategy
committee
know
there
is
a
monthly
update
on
the
consultation
documents
from
external
organizations.
The
there
are
three
that
have
been
received
over
the
summer.
Those
are
listed
in
the
appendices
members,
two
of
them
we're
proposing,
are
just
noted
and
the
third
from
the
food
standards
agency,
the
environmental
health
department,
are
going
to
draft
a
response
to
that
and
we'll
bring
it
through
the
september
environmental
services
committee
secret
members.
Approval
for
that.
Thank
you.
C
C
M
Thank
you.
Lord
mayor
members
will
be
aware
of
a
previous
report
brought
through
committee
in
june.
In
regards
to
this
fund.
Fair,
all
of
the
information
remains
the
same.
The
only
change
is
that
due
to
staffing
issues
operate
has
requested
a
change
of
deals
to
run
the
fun
fair,
as
noted
under
important
members,
were
asked
to
know
that
change.
Thank
you.
C
Okay
mark
thank
you
for
that
and
membership.
It
is
an
item
for
information,
I'm
not
seeing
any
harms
or
any
lights
so
happy
to
move
on.
Thank
you
agenda
item
six
members
on
6.1
correspondence
cm
comments,
stroke
responses,
so
it's
from
the
department
of

and
the
estimated
rural
roads,
grass
verges
and
20
mile
speed
limits
around
schools.
O
Thank
you,
debbie,
lloyd,
murray.
Yes,
just
a
comment,
a
few
comments
on
this
piece
of
response
from
the
department
and
from
the
permanent
secretary
and
really
what
we
were
asking
for
here
was
to
feed
in
some
of
our
concerns
regarding
the
grilling
of
fury,
roads,
grass
verges
and
on
speed
limits,
the
rural
schools
etc.
O
A
good
look-
and
this
is
this-
is
really
just
bringing
our
chief
executive
along
to
say,
here's
your
policy
and
when
you
take
it
back,
and
you
explain
that
policy
to
your
members,
because
that's
what
I
read
into
this
response-
I
think
it's
a
stabilic
and
it's
it's
not
a
response
at
all.
It's
it's!
It's
pushing
the
issue
to
the
one
side.
O
But
I
think,
at
this
stage
I
would
propose
that
we
still
wish
to
have
that
meeting
to
take
place
because
there's
a
lot
of
issues
there
there
was.
There
was
issues
in
the
past
with
with
the
curry
enough
grass
and
verges,
and
I
think
this
council
was
actually
using
their
own
ratepayers
money
to
actually
cut
road
service
verges
and
such
like.
So
they
need
to
be
told
this,
never
mind
their
policies
and
new
policies,
their
own
voices.
O
I
think
we
might
be
as
a
council
get
an
input
into
what
these
policies
are
and
tell
them
how
we
feel
and
let's
see,
then
whether
they
come
back
with
a
respectable
responsibility,
but
we
have
here
totally
totally
disgusted
that
response
on
what
their,
what
they're
saying
to
us
as
elected
members,
no
disrespect
to
our
chief
exactly,
but
I
think
it
was
just
pushing
this
off
to
one
side.
Thank
you.
C
P
Thank
you
w
lord
mayor
and
good
evening
members,
and
maybe
just
by
way
of
information
we
are
scheduled
to
have
the
annual
meeting
with
road
service.
We
have
provisionally
penciled
it
in
for
the
september
council
meeting.
So
I
suppose
deputy
lord
merits,
whether
this
would
be
in
addition
to
or
whether
members
want
to
hold
off
until
the
the
september
meeting,
but
it
was
really
just
to
provide
that
by
way
of
an
update
deputy
lord
mer.
O
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Lauren
marahan,
thanks
to
chief
exchange
for
enlightenment,
us
that
they're
coming
to
present
their
report,
but
you
know
when
we
get
these
reports,
basically
we're
tied
down
to
what's
in
the
report.
They
do
not
wish
us
to
take
any
other
questions
and
no
doubt
on
the
night.
They
would
still
be
at
that.
O
I
think
we
need
this
meeting
with
ourselves
at
a
separate
meeting
on
a
the
chief
executive
ourselves
and
the
permanent
sagittarius,
but
we
want
someone
with
responsibility
that
they
can
tell
us
what
they
intend
to
do
or
what
they
don't
intend
to
do
that.
We
can
tell
our
constituents
the
way
we
feel
in
relation
to
the
state
of
the
bar
and
some
of
these
grassroots
and
roundabouts
and
such
like.
Thank
you.
C
Q
Q
There's
no
doubt
that
you
know
I'm
not
turning
everybody
to
the
same
brush,
but
I
have
to
say
this.
At
the
very
least,
this
meeting
should
go
ahead
and
I
would
support
calls
for
that
to
be
to
be
made
beyond
the
september
making
which
at
times
is
farcical.
I
would
support
an
extraordinary
meeting
with
them
to,
at
the
very
least
point
out
that
this
ladder
is
actually
wrong.
It's
actually
factually
incorrect
because
requests
for
maintenance
go
unhated,
and
this
is
a
prime
example
of
it.
R
Yeah,
thank
you,
lord
mer,
and,
like
others,
that
have
spoken
before
I
totally
agree.
I
I
read
the
letter
and
have
to
say
I
kind
of
thought
myself.
Well
that's
kind
of
what
I
expected
anyway.
You
know
because
they
have
been.
They
are
a
very
difficult
department
and
a
you.
You
you're
right.
Lord
byron
and
others
have
said
it
like.
You
know,
there's
some
of
them.
You
can.
You
know
work
with
you
really
well.
R
Was
he
trying
to
get
a
meeting
or
trying
to
get
them
out
to
look
at
something
or
something
it's
near
impossible,
so
I
I
would
support
this
action.
I
I
wish
you
well
or
roger
well
in
achieving
this.
But
again
I
have
a
funny
feeling
it'll
be
just
referred
to
our
meeting
in
september,
but
I
think
the
meeting
of
september
we
should
bring
it
up.
I
was
that
was
one
of
my
questions
to
rogers
when
the
jew
back
in,
because
I
know
they
come
in
every
year.
R
So
it's
timely
that
they're
coming
in
september,
but
no
look
you
you're
right.
Lord
mer
and
others
have
spoken
as
well,
like
you
know
that
the
rural
communities
have
been
forgotten
about
in
in
these
situations,
grass
merges
gritting
of
roads,
etc,
and
all
they
do
is
say:
that's
not
policy
and
and
and
that's
the
end
of
the
conversation.
So
I
think
the
doors
need
to
be
in
the
room
conversation.
R
You
know,
looking
at
the
whites
of
their
eyes
and
saying,
look
this
isn't
good
enough.
The
real
people,
and
and
and
also
the
urban
people
with
the
grass
versus
things
deserve
better
and
it's
time
to
up
their
game.
So
look
and
I'm
happy
to
support
this
lord
mer
and,
and
hopefully
it
can
bring
a
successful.
C
F
F
I
think
at
this
moment
in
time
I
would
suggest
that
there's
a
very,
very
large
section
of
the
rural
community
that
the
grass
verges
haven't
even
been
touched
on,
not
alone.
Now,
maybe
we're
to
september
to
have
this
meeting
and
possibly
they'll,
maybe
by
that
time
they'll
get
around
to
having
them
all
done.
But
you
know
along
the
edge
of
the
road
in
the
rural
areas.
F
Some
places
this
footpaths
have
nearly
disappeared,
with
the
the
grass
growing
down
from
the
banks
onto
them
and
even
along
the
curbs
on
the
roadside
with
the
grain
and
dirt.
That's
along
there
again
it
it's
totally
unacceptable
and
the
doa
or
road
service
or
wherever
they
don't
seem
in
this
latest,
but
interest
of
it
and
as
regards
communicating
with
them.
Yes,
you
send
off
emails
about
these
things,
and
then
you
get
a
couple
of
days
later.
F
You
get
a
number
back
whereby
you're
allowed
to
track
progress
on
the
on
the
issue
you
have
raised,
and
I
must
say
if
other
counselors
are
like
myself,
you
send
that
many
emails
about
various
things.
Sometimes
you
find
it
more
difficult
to
track
them
on
what
has
happened
them
you
end
up
running
around
the
country.
Having
a
look
to
see
is
the
work
done,
it's
unacceptable
folks.
F
C
J
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
deputy
lord
mayor,
and
you
know
I
would
concur
with
what
all
our
members
have
said
tonight.
I
think
it's
positive
that
members
speak
with
one
voice
in
relation
to
this.
Road
service
have
been
exceptionally
difficult
to
deal
with
over
the
years
on
the
ground
in
this
borough,
and
the
very
fact
that
it
took
six
weeks
for
the
permanent
secretary
to
reply
to
an
email
from
our
chief
executive
even
says
something
about
itself
become
a
little
more
important
than
20
million.
J
That
are
sponsored
by
local
businesses
and
they're
attractive
entrance
to
the
times,
and
I
have
realized
this
probably
a
decade
ago,
as
olga
murder
as
well.
We've
met
with
the
department,
you
know,
and
we've
had
no
success
in
relation
to
any
of
these
things.
That
would
enhance
our
borough.
So
I
support
I
am
supportive
of
the
cause
to
bring
road
service
at
the
highest
level
to
council
and
let's
have
this
discussion
and
an
open
public
forum.
N
N
Communication
has
been
an
issue
which
was
mentioned
and
in
particular,
I
think
it
is
an
issue
with
solar
area,
because
I
note
seeing
various
response
from
elected
members
in
other
areas
that
they
seem
to
get
detailed
responses
on
issues
and,
for
example,
it
has
been
noted
when
we
request
issues
to
be
brought
up
at
the
various.
You
know
yearly
council
meeting,
which
they
are
at
hand.
They
very
much
discourage
us
for
bringing
up
issues
but
we'll
issues
which
will
not
be
unfamiliar
to
them,
as
they'll
have
been
raised
and
likely
raised
multiple
times.
N
These
are
very
much
issues
from
our
constituents,
we're
talking,
as
it's
been
mentioned,
about
child
safety,
we're
talking
about
line-of-sight
issues,
we're
talking
about
safety
on
our
roads
and
footpaths,
so
content
that
this
special
meeting
does
happen
that
was
arranged
as
soon
as
possible.
Thank
you,
deputy
dormer
thank.
K
K
You
know
it's
a
matter
of
road
and
road
safety
and
of
driver
safety,
and
I
also
think
that
there
are
some
areas
and
ultimate
spheres
referred
to
them
around
a
grass
going
over
footpaths.
Well,
we
can't
wash
our
hands
of
some
of
these
issues
either,
and
it
has
been
raised
time
and
time
again
in
council
and
we're
told
that
in
some
parts
of
the
council
it
happens
in
partnership
with
the
efi
and
with
council
and
other
parts
of
the
area.
It's
no,
not
oscar.
We
don't
do
that
and
so
look.
H
I
have
referred
it
to
the
council
here,
but
it's
just
that
the
residents
come
back
to
us
and
then
it's
making
us
feel
bad
and
that
they
don't
know
what's
going
on
and
then
whenever
we
do
realize
the
dfa
dfi
are
doing
their
basic
job
and
notifying
us
and
projects
that
are
ongoing,
so
that
can
be
brought
up
as
well.
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you.
C
O
As
some
members
have
said
in
relation
to
council.
Maybe
we
have
to
get
our
act
together.
Well,
that
can
all
be
fed
in.
We
can
work
on
cooperation
with
the
lake
of
the
road
service
to
try
and
move
this
bar
on
and
clean
it
up
a
bit.
So
I
I
think,
an
open
discussion
for
everyone
to
take
part
and
then
we'll
see
what
goes
on
after
that.
So
thank
you.
Lardman.
C
Okay,
alvin
anderson,
thank
you
for
that
amendment
and
again,
as
the
second
of
your
original
proposal,
I
I
would
have
great
pleasure
in
second
and
you're
amended
one
and
members
we're
going
to
draw
this
to
a
conclusion,
but
there
are
vital
issues
in
there
and
we,
it
just
simply
is
not
good
enough.
The
response
that
we
as
elected
members
are
getting
to
this,
so
officers
have
taken
note
and
we're
completely
unanimous.
C
C
C
Members
and
listeners
to
the
audio
feed
in
accordance
with
schedule,
6
of
the
local
government
act
exact,
exempt
information.
We
will
now
be
moving
into
a
confidential
session
of
the
council.
This
means
that
we
will
be
turning
off
the
public
audio
feed
of
the
meeting.
This
will
be
returned
when
the
meeting
is
restarted,
and
can
I
ask
ict
officers
to
please
turn
off
the
auto
feed
and
confirm
with
me
when
we
can
move
ahead
with
confidential.
C
F
B
C
Alderman
spears,
indeed,
that
sad
news
had
reached
the
top
table
during
the
meeting
and
indeed
our
thoughts
on
our
prayers
are
with
lord
trimble's,
dear
wife
and
his
family,
and
on
behalf
of
council,
can
I
can.
I
offer
her
deepest
sympathies
and
condolences
to
his
former
party
colleagues
in
the
australian
party.
D
B
D
Rather,
you
agreed
with
the
stance
on
things
or
not:
it's
not
easy,
being
a
public
representative,
and
certainly
at
the
time
of
controversy
and
all
whenever,
during
his
political
career,
I
think
it
has
to
be
said
that
politicians
sometimes
put
themselves
up
there
for
more
more
ridicule
than
anything
else,
and
that
has
to
be
commended,
no
matter
what
party
and
you
belong
to,
so
just
on
behalf
of
the
body
again,
just
to
reiterate
our
condolences
and
sympathies
to
the
family
and
to
his
party
colleagues,
at
this
particular
time.
Thank
you.
K
K
Around
them
in
both
parties
took
the
difficult
decisions
that
led
this
community
to
a
better
place,
and
I
hope
that
history
reflects
the
important
contribution
that
he
made
to
peace
on
this
island
and
between
these
islands
in
the
years
ahead,
and
they
pass
on
our
sympathies
to
his
wife,
daphne
and
his
family,
and
also
to
his
party
colleagues.
Tonight.
N
David
tremble's
contribution
to
the
peace
process
meant
that
my
generation
and
everyone
living
in
northern
ireland
has
been
able
to
live
better
and
safer
futures,
because
leadership
and
that
time
will
not
be
forgotten
on
behalf
of
the
alliance
party
group
and
nbc
council
we'd
also
pass
on
our
condolences
and
sympathy
to
his
family,
his
circle
of
friends,
and
indeed
his
colleagues
within
the
austrianist
party,
particularly
within
upper
bound.
Thank
you.
G
C
C
S
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much,
lord
mayor.
I
am
really
not
intending
to
linger
here
because,
as
what
often
happens
when
you
do
submit
iob,
you
get
a
flurry
of
phone
calls
from
officers
and
most
likely
it'll
be
sorted,
but
it
was
just
to
highlight
again.
I
suppose,
and
again
I
don't
mess
up
on
a
really
at
this
juncture.
S
C
Okay,
councillor
flaherty.
Thank
you
very
much
and
members
there
are.
There
are
a
couple
more
issues
on
under
any
other
business
that
were
re-exactly
by
myself.
One
was
the
issue
of
boundary
signage
and
it
was
just
to
basically
congratulate
a
jonathan
on
the
team
that
that
we
finally
have
rule
out,
certainly
in
certain
areas.
C
Certainly
in
my
own
language,
river
dea,
we
have
rule
out
of
the
of
the
gateway
signage
in
terms
of
our
borough,
and
it's
just
to
congratulate
to
congratulate
jonathan
on
the
team
for
doing
this,
and
I
suppose
we
look
forward
to
the
next
phase
of
the
operation
when
we
can
have
the
gateways
to
our
towns
and
our
villages
included
a
in
in
the
signage
scheme.
So
that
was
one
thing
and
the
second
of
all-
and
I
spoke
with
jonathan
earlier.
C
It's
an
issue
around
the
provision
of
new
bus
shelters
across
across
the
borough
and
jonathan,
has
given
me
the
assurance
that
he
will
bring
an
updated
paper
in
terms
of
any
applications
for
bus
shelters
that
that
are
that
are
pending,
because
that
is
a
slow
enough
process.
But
some
of
them
seem
to
be
lost
and
in
the
ether,
but
jonathan
has
assured
me
members
that
by
september
that
he
will
bring
an
update.
C
So
members,
given
that
and
I'm
seeing
no
more
hands,
no
more
likes
kind
of.
Thank
you
all
for
your
participation
this
evening.
In
some
ways
it
has
been
a
very.
It
has
been
a
very
somber
meeting,
both
at
the
start
and
at
the
end,
but
that
is
unfortunately
life
members,
and
can
I
wish
you
safe
journey
home
and
a
good
rest
of
the
evening
thanks
members.
