All the reports, plus the agenda for the meeting are here.
Good morning Iain.
Ref Newlands Road double yellow line removal.
The owners of the used car business currently park their cars on existing double yellow lines, park cars fully on the pavement (in front of and to the side of Newlands House) and several cars taking up a large proportion of the pavement and on occasions actually on the Green. They block easy access for pedestrians along the pavement and cause congestion at the top of Newlands Road where it meets Newlands Road. I’m afraid that Parking Wardens do not deal with this ongoing problem. The car business will ignor the time limit restrictions and use the area as an extension of their forecourt as they do at present. Ollowing parking will not benefit any of the many other small businesses within the immediate area.
Thanks Peter – we are not clear where this proposal has come from, and concerns have been raised, so we’ll be asking questions at committee.
Good to see more defibrillators in the community. The request for £2000 towards a unit seems excessive. The Defib Shop Excalibur House 630 Liverpool Road Irlam Manchester M44 5AD (which I have no connection) Has 19 different units priced at under £1000. Training for operators can be found locally for around £400 for a group of 12 people.
A need to do some homework for the most competitive prices.
DC/07 1580. Tuition/Education?. Two of the most dangerous words in any language. There are schools, colleges, universities, evening classes all available and regulated, so why open another one?
Because it’s the thinend of the wedge Alice. Who’s going to check it’s nit operating as a mosque after this gets clearance
What if it is a mosque? What is the problem? And don’t say it’s because it’s in an inappropriate location. I find this attitude depressing and disappointing.
Hi Alice – I’d say that education is quite a good thing! New schools and educational establishments open all the time, and new tutors offer education and training all the time. I really can’t think of any time when that hasn’t been the case.
If you’re concerned about the centre, I’d suggest you do what I’ve done several times and take a look. The people who run it are always very friendly and very happy to show visitors around.
The existing ‘education centre’ is used for prayers. If anyone passes on a Friday Lunch time you will see this.
It makes it impossible to park anywhere along Foxland Road and the surrounding Roads.
Hi Judith – that’s correct, and they have always said that there are prayers there, since the centre opened in 2009. They have never suggested otherwise.
In other words Alice your concerns will be ignored and this will be waved through
