This is just a quick update following on from the Newsflash published earlier this week – see here
The Forum Steering Group lobbied our local councillors (and hopefully some of you did too), and we are pleased to report that the motion (from the Leader of the Council) to withdraw the SM-SPD from the Full Council meeting agenda on Wednesday evening, pending further review, had unanimous support from within the Chamber.
We have subsequently written to Councillor Radulovic to accept his offer, made on Wednesday evening, to meet with the Forum with regard to the SM-SPD. We will keep you informed once we have had that meeting, and have any more information about the further planned review of the SM-SPD by the Council.
It just goes to show how effective the Community & Forum can be when it bares its teeth! The key to success is continued engagement with not just all of you and the wider community, but also the Council and other key stakeholders.
As always please do feel free to ask any questions you may have on this or anything else via the Contact Us page, and we’ll do our best to answer them via the Questions and Answers page.
