1 BURSLEDON, HAMBLE-LE-RICE AND HOUND LOCAL AREA COMMITTEE Thursday, 26 June 2003 (5:00 pm – 9:25 pm) PRESENT: Councillor Airey (Chair); Councillors Millar, Mrs Craig, Pepper, Wintle, Wright and House Apologies for absence were received from Councillors Mrs Davis ________________________________________ RESOLVED ITEMS (SUBJECT TO QUESTIONS ONLY) 176. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST Members were invited to declare interests in relation to items of business on the agenda. Any interests declared are recorded in the relevant minute below. 177. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Councillor Mrs Queen, Chair of Hound Parish Council spoke with regard to the Local Plan Second Deposit and what she felt was a lack of communication between Council departments with regard to local needs. An example given was the traffic problems caused by park and ride schemes. Councillor Mrs Queen also spoke with regard to proposed multiplay equipment at Station Road Recreation Ground. She expressed the view that young people in the area had been waiting for a very long time for this facility. Although she understood delays may have been caused by abuse and anti social behaviour in the area, it was felt that the majority of young people should not be penalised because of the bad behaviour of the minority. The Area Co-ordinator expressed his sympathy with the comments made but advised that although there had been residents agreement a year ago, there was now a new group of residents who were expressing strong objections. With this level of animosity in the area it was felt impossible to build such a facility. The Council would attend Hound Parish Council’s Developer’s . Paul McLeod, Hampshire County Council Youth Worker said he would speak at length at any working group set up but in the meantime expressed the view that it was important that local youth felt they had a voice not just with regard to this matter, but also to encourage their belief in the democratic system. It is only a minority of young people who exhibit anti-social behaviour. 2 Mr Cummings spoke with regard to lack of grass cutting in the Cunningham Gardens area. The Chair agreed that the matter should be passed on to Hampshire County Council. 178.
