Agenda and minutes

RESOLVED: That the minutes from the meeting dated 21 January 2014 were agreed as an accurate record.

Consideration was given to the draft final report. It was noted that the scope of this report had not focussed only on the Borough’s “award-winning” green spaces as had been stated in the scoping report. Instead, the review had explored water conservation measures for all green spaces across the Borough.

It was agreed that the reference to the Borough’s “schools” in recommendation 2 would be changed to “education establishments” to ensure that information on water-saving measures was shared as widely as possible.

The Committee also agreed that a reference to the positive impact that these recommendations would have on flooding in the Borough would be included in the “Changes to Policy” section. It was noted that the issue of flooding and the wider effects of climate change would be a good subject for a future review.

RESOLVED: That, subject to the amendments set out above, the draft final report on water conservation was agreed.

Officers noted that an update would be provided at the next meeting of the Committee.

RESOLVED: That the update on the enforcement of cemetery regulations be considered at the meeting of 26 March 2014.

RESOLVED: That:

1. Officers provide clarification on whether it was the Council or the Mayor of London who received funds from the Community Infrastructure Levy; and
2. The Forward Plan be noted.

The Committee agreed that the meeting schedule for 30 April 2014 should be cancelled and all remaining business for this Municipal Year considered at the meeting on 26 March 2014.

RESOLVED: That:

1.      The meeting scheduled for 30 April 2014 be cancelled and all business brought forward to the meeting on 26 March 2014; and
