MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING RESOLVED: That the Minutes of the meeting held on 9 March 2017 be confirmed as a correct record. 56. PUBLIC FORUM During the Public Forum the following matters were raised:- a) Councillor Mike Carter - Vice-Chair of Aintree Village Parish Council submitted the following question on behalf of Jack Colbert, Peter Gill, Ian Roxborough and Marion Wykes:- In the presentation to the Health and Wellbeing Board of 14th December 2016 by Mel Wright on the subject of "Integration and Multi-Disciplinary working" it was stated by Andrew Booth that success is measured by 'quality of life and full potential'. In the recent presentation to community groups in the Aintree area, Liverpool CCG stated that at least 25% of GP appointments could not be treated medically and that community assets such as the Aintree Community Centre were for that reason an invaluable asset to the mental and physical health of residents. It was highlighted as a promoter of valuable and much needed health information whilst also promoting a sense of wellbeing. Why then, despite having been given ample opportunity to do so, is Sefton MBC refusing to give any response to the granting of another lease to this 'invaluable' community asset, and thereby allowing the health of residents from newborn to pensioners to suffer while they continue to block the request, and in doing so squander this opportunity to help residents achieve both quality of life and full potential? The following response had been provided by the Head of Communities:- Sefton Council is not allowing newborns or pensioners to suffer - we are reviewing our assets to enable our new model of delivery to be implemented. This will enable services to be delivered in communities across the Borough and we will notify leaseholders when this is complete. Mr. Colbert addressed the Committee giving details of the use of the Centre and urged that the Council take action to ensure that the Community Centre remained open. Page2 8 Agenda Item 3 CENTRAL SEFTON AREA COMMITTEE- THURSDAY 15TH JUNE, 2017 b) Mr. M. Coles Chairman of Formby Parish Council submitted the following question:- For many years the toilet block in the car park in Furness Avenue has been closed and is falling to bits. It is a disgrace, a health hazard and the scene of anti-social behavior. As such, it presents a serious safety risk. I am aware that this has been the subject of discussion between the Parish Council, Ward Councillors and Sefton officers over many years, but it is a disgrace that nothing has been done, to repair it, to refurbish it or knock it down. It cannot be left any longer, and the last advice given to the Parish Council at its regular Stewardship meetings was that it would be razed to the ground, but nothing has been confirmed. Sefton MBC will have noted that in the preparation of its Neighbourhood Plan, that residents expressed very strongly that public toilet provision should be provided in the center of Formby. Informal advice has been given that it will be knocked down. Will the Area Committee please confirm whether this is correct, and if so can we insist that the appropriate elected representatives be consulted on what should now take place as a matter of urgency.
