Planning
Questions
To ask the Chief Executive if the Council will make representations to the appropriate authority or authorities, to secure temporary onsite accommodation for Firhouse Educate Together Secondary School, in the locality preferably adjacent to the existing school, rather than in Citywest as is, I understand, currently proposed and further to ensure that an appropriate permanent site in the locality is established.

Draft Public Realm Improvement Works Programme 2020
Motions
That the Chief Executive install three public bins into Greenhills Park early in the New Year.
This park is well utilised by the local community with people enjoying the public green space to walk their dog, to play football and run. The community works hard at ensuring litter is picked up regularly and I also note the hard work of SDCC staff and they work they do within the park.
The community cannot understand why public bins are not provided for in this green space. We want to encourage park users to be responsible with their rubbish and providing a few public bins would do just that.
We would also ask the Chief Executive to consider providing belly bins and/or segregated bins to allow for the separation of recyclable and general waste.
