Questions from Members of the Liaison and the public
In order to allow members of the Liaison and members of the public to raise issues of local concern, a period of 20 minutes has been set aside.
A member of the public may speak for no more than 3 minutes. Members of the public are not required to give notice of the issue they intend to raise, although it is expected in the case of service issues that the appropriate mechanisms for resolving the issue have been explored.
Where a question is raised which cannot be answered at the meeting, a record will be kept by officers supporting the meeting and it will be responded to via the appropriate mechanism.
Minutes:
Julia Berry, Chorley South Division – LCC, highlighted the significant flooding issues within the borough and proposed that an event be held at the Town Hall to encourage resilience building. The multi-agency event would include LCC, Chorley Council, parish councils, and a network of relevant external agencies such as United Utilities and the Environment Agency. It was agreed that this would be looked into.
Terry Dickenson requested that information on what constitutes environmental/ecological impact with regards to proposed developments be addressed at the next Planning in Practice session.
