CM 9              

            a. Hub Committee – 19 April 2016

It was moved by Cllr P R Sanders, seconded by Cllr R E Baldwin and upon being submitted to the Meeting was declared to be CARRIED and “RESOLVED that the Minutes of the 19 April 2016 meeting be received and noted, with the exception of Unstarred Minutes HC 73, HC 74, HC 75, HC 76 and HC 77”.

In respect of the Unstarred Minutes:

i.          HC 73 – Options for Future Garden Waste Service

The lead Hub Committee Member for Commercial Services introduced this Unstarred Minute and highlighted the degree of local concern that had become apparent since the recommendations had been initially made by the Committee.

It was therefore deemed appropriate for further work to be undertaken on the options for the future garden waste service before a decision was made.  In the ensuing debate, there was general support expressed for this suggestion.

As a consequence, it was then moved by Cllr R F D Sampson, seconded by Cllr P R Sanders and upon being submitted to the Meeting was declared to be CARRIED and “RESOLVED that the Council urgently refer back to the Waste Working Group “Option C” for further consideration. 

Specifically, the service be considered in terms of financial implications, risk of an increase in fly-tipping in the event of charges being introduced and more detailed proposals for the promotion of home composting.  An expanded report is then requested to be presented to the next available Hub Committee meeting.”

ii.         HC 74 – Review of Long Term Parking Scheme

It was moved by Cllr R F D Sampson, seconded by Cllr R J Oxborough and upon being submitted to the Meeting was declared to be CARRIED and “RESOLVED that approval be given to the continuation of the long stay parking scheme in Okehampton and Tavistock.”
