MOTION NO. 11

MOTION: Councillor W. Carey

That this Area Committee agrees that SDCC should secure the gaps in railings which secures Monastery gate Villas green space and the Shalimar Apartments/Ibis Hotel lands. This area is becoming a source of anti social activity and drug dealing and requires a higher level of maintenance to keep secure.

REPORT:

The boundary fence between the open space at Monastery Gate Villas and Shalimar Apartments/Ibis Hotel has not been taken in charge.  The maintenance and upkeep of this boundary is a matter for the landowner.  The boundary has been inspected and there are no gaps in the Shalimar Apartments section.  There are 2 gaps in the Ibis Hotel section which lead into the car park.  One gap has been created where bars have been prised apart and the second gap is the result of a bar being removed.  There is evidence that repairs have been carried out to other sections of the boundary in the past.

The Ibis Hotel will be contacted and requested to secure the gaps in the boundary fence.
