Issue - meetings

Residents questioned when will a decision to the change of the Forum go to the Council, to which committee will it be reported and will residents be able to attend?

On the matter of grants funding the Chair stated the Council gives money in different ways. Members and Officers are discussing ideas. There is a five member panel reviewing grants. A report on this is to go to full Council on 5.12. 2017. This may then lead to a meeting in February 2018 where the report would go to the Policy, Finance and Development Committee. The request of residents to be consulted is noted but there is not a guarantee. A suggestion was made that residents put in their response to the previous three consultation questions which had a deadline of October 2017.A request was made for the responses made by Oadby and Wigston Residents Forums with South Wigston Residents. The Chair consented to this and requested residents contact the Community Engagement Officer if they wanted a copy of those returns.

Action:

Residents requiring a copy of the Oadby and Wigston Resident Forum consultation returns are to contact the Community Engagement Officer if they require a copy.
