Motions
That this Council agree to initiate a pilot programme of a community warden service which involves a permanent presence of Council Community Wardens in areas which have need of such a service.

That this Council recommends that we make representation to the Colombian Ambassador in London to ensure that the military rescue operation proposed by President Uribe to rescue hostages held by FARC be cancelled. Mindful of the fact that FARC leaders have ordered their men to execute hostages in such a rescue operation, by proceeding in this way, it is imposing a death sentence on the hostages one of whom includes Ingrid Betancourt on whom we have bestowed the Freedom of the
That this Council write to the appropriate Government Department requesting that consideration be given to (a) activating the "Amber" sequence between "Red" and "Green" on all traffic lights and (b) inserting a "filter left on Red when safe to do " sign at suitable junctions so as to maximise the capacity of road intersections and alleviate traffic congestion.

That that the Members discuss the process to secure the integrity of the Council's planning files and call on the Manager to improve it in light of recent failures by the Council to fulfil its obligations in this regard.
That this Council values the role and contribution of the Community Forum and Community Platform and will positively support them by holding at least one conference per annum dealing with issues of concern to the community and voluntary sector to which the executive from both organisations, as well as the elected members of the Council be invited and by providing each organisation with a full time support worker and by including both organisations on the relevant invitation list for council events.
That this Council, in order to combat the proliferation in illegal domestic clothing collections;
investigates the possibility of introducing bye-laws which oblige all collectors to clearly identify their company/organisation name , address, landline and other relevant company/organisation/charity number details, together with the relevant tax clearance details;
and inter alia introduces severe penalties for those collectors and residents who knowingly breach these regulations;
organises a publicity campaign to alert householders to any proposed changes
and examines best practise in this regard.
That the Manager would report on the initial stages of the Review of the Water Leisure Strategy specifically regarding the provision of the outstanding Swimming Pools.
