Minutes:
Councillor Jem Duducu attended the meeting and spoke as Ward Councillor in support of the petition. Although not present at the meeting, Councillors Allan Kauffman and Judy Kelly had provided written statements which were read out by Councillor Keith Burrows. All three Ward Members supported the petition.
Concerns and suggestions raised at the meeting included the following:
Councillor Burrows listened to the concerns of the petitioners and responded to the points raised. Officers advised that they would speak to TfL regarding policing of the red route and would also contact the London Borough of Ealing (LBE) to insist that Hillingdon be invited to any meetings held regarding events at the SKLP as the Council had an interest.
Councillor Burrows advised that consideration would be given to re-establishing the informal committee that had previously been used to devise an action plan as part of the second resolution. If the dates of future SKLP events had already been publicised, then it appeared that LBE had already given permission. Officers were asked to make contact with LBE to ensure that the proper permissions were in place and report back to the Cabinet Member on Monday 19 September 2016. Consideration would also be given to enforcement of parking restrictions by the Council and TfL.
Ward Councillors would be updated on progress so that they could liaise with residents.
RESOLVED: Meeting with the petitioners, the Cabinet Member for Planning, Transportation and Recycling:
1. listened to their request for measures to address traffic nuisance associated with the SKLP Community Centre.
2. subject to the outcome of the above, asked officers to investigate options to address residents' concerns for possible further future consultation / action.
3. advised petitioners that the SKLP Community Centre is in the London Borough of Ealing who would be responsible for taking action against possible noise nuisance associated with the Centre. However, asks officers to contact colleagues in Ealing Council to inform them of the residents' concerns and report back to the Cabinet Member for Planning, Transportation and Recycling.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
To allow the Cabinet Member to discuss with petitioners their concerns and, if appropriate, add their request to the parking and road safety forward programme.
ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS CONSIDERED
These will be discussed with petitioners.
