To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the on the Poddle Flood Alleviation works programme.
The Poddle needs to be cleared every year to ensure the water flows downstream in flood season. Maintenance is needed on the overgrowth in the Tymon area behind Osprey where bad flooding has occurred in the past. The overgrowth is also causing rat problems in the area and potentially will make the flooding worse.
CAPITAL PROGRAMME UPDATE
2015 AUDIT OF ACCOUNTS
This council requests the Chief Executive to determine suitable locations for the construction of “Independent residential complexes” to address the needs of a maturing population and to free up housing stock more suitable to families through the subsequent downsizing.
The independent complex can be a mixture of both social housing and privately leased houses through “fair deal schemes”.
The concentration of mature people in an Independent living complex allows for more efficient provision of services and also helps to create a vibrant community reducing the effects of loneliness and isolation.
