MOTION NO.7

MOTION: Councillor M. Johansson

That, in relation to Clonburris SDZ, in order to ensure a balance between the rights of existing residents and other stakeholders, the Elected Members ask the Chief Executive to explore the possibility of designating a member of staff as a ‘community contact’ throughout the duration of the SDZ who will liaise with existing residents and communities.

REPORT:

As part of the SDZ discussions this matter was raised and responded to by the Chief Executive. Further to the commencement of development in Clonburris, the Council's existing community engagement structures, including the Public Participation Network (PPN) and long established supportive and collaborative channels between the Community Department and community interests will be initiated. The community support team will work from the outset with the new Clonburris community to establish appropriate community development support structures, to facilitate active civic and community engagement and integration into the broader community.
