Issue - meetings

The Annual Report of the Safer Policy and Performance Board was received which outlined the contributions made to the ongoing work of the Board. 

          Members commented they had not received further updates or matters progressed by the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC).   It was suggested that it might be helpful for the newly appointed PCC to attend a future meeting.

          Discussions ensued regarding parking issues around the Borough and it was noted that Halton was the only Cheshire Authority that did not have responsibility for traffic/parking enforcements.  Officers reassured the Board that a piece of work was being undertaken to look at parking enforcement, however, in order to change the powers, this would have to be authorised by the Department of Transport.  A robust model would therefore need to be in place before taking this forward.  Members would be updated on progress in due course.

          A Member of the Board requested how they could access information on problematic hotspots in the Borough for fly tipping and officers agreed to provide a breakdown by Ward.

          RESOLVED:  That the report be noted.
