Decision details

Councillor Kunes presented his report.  In response to a question from Councillor A Tyler he confirmed that the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Board meetings were much improved, financial situation seemed to be improving and they had a new Chief Executive.

Following a question from Councillor Jones as to whether the new cashless parking facility would include apple and google pay, Councillor Kunes believed it would be added in due course, but undertook to check.

In response to Councillor Parish’s question regarding car park charges, Councillor Kunes explained that a review of car parking charges would be undertaken in the next few years, as it was not possible to incrementally increase charges as it would involve small increase figures which were not viable.

Following the detail of an individual staff case being raised in the meeting, the Monitoring Officer prevented the disclosure of information being made and discussed in the meeting.

Following a question on the water level in the Gayton Road cemetery, councillor Kunes undertook to ensure that Councillors J Collop and J Rust were invited to a meeting with the Environment Agency and the AWA to discuss the matter.  He also indicated that the situation to resolve the issue would potentially apply to other cemeteries in the same position.
