Sealing Documents 15. Transfer of Rights of Burial 16. Notices of Motion 16.1 Notice of Motion submitted by Councillor Cathcart That this Council expresses its concern with the decision by NI Water to pursue community houses with water charges. Community organisations struggle for funding on an annual basis, and would not be able to get funding for services such as water charges, especially backdated charges. These charges therefore put community organisations in financial hardship and put their ability to serve their community at risk. This Council therefore writes to NI Water and the Permanent Secretary at the Department for Infrastructure stating the Council's belief that community houses serve their local community and should exempt from water charges, like they are for Rates. 2 16.2 Notice of Motion submitted by Councillor Chambers and Alderman Henry That this Council supports the campaign to build the United Kingdom's first national memorial, dedicated to all emergency service personnel who have served or been killed in the course of their duties; believes that such a memorial would be a fitting tribute to those past and present who have shown extraordinary bravery and selflessness by putting themselves in harm's way in order to keep us safe; recognises that the campaign has already secured widespread political support including, from the Prime Minister, her predecessors, leaders of the opposition and also has backing of both the Scottish and Welsh Governments. Therefore this Council formally places on record our support for the creation of a national monument to act as a symbol of eternal gratitude for their service. 16.3 Notice of Motion submitted by Councillor Martin and Councillor Smith Council notes the enormous damage gambling addiction can cause in the lives of individuals, families and communities. In May 2017 the Department for Communities published a survey, which found a problem gambling prevalence rate of 2.3% in Northern Ireland, a rate over four times higher than in England. Furthermore, this council notes the move by Her Majesty’s Government to reduce stakes on Fixed Odds Betting Terminals (FOBTs), a particularly addictive form of gambling, from £100 to £2 in April 2019. The Council further notes that this decision does not apply to Northern Ireland and in the absence of an Executive and Assembly action cannot be taken to reduce the stakes on these terminals. The Council calls on betting companies operating in Northern Ireland to follow the decision of Ladbrokes to voluntarily reduce the stakes on FOBT machines in this jurisdiction in line with the rest of the UK. The Council also calls on the Department of Health to review support given to individuals suffering from gambling addiction and calls for the creation of a dedicated service to address this addiction. The Council writes to the Departments of Health and Communities to encourage them to do all in their power to support those with gambling addiction and the ascertain whether anything can be currently be done regarding FOBTs in Northern Ireland. 16.4 Notice of Motion submitted by Councillor Martin and Councillor Smith Council notes its outstanding commitment from the previous North Down Legacy Council in 2012/13 to provide play facilities within the Ashbury, Ballycrochan, Kilmaine area. It further notes the play provision review independently commissioned by this Council clearly reported the necessity of new facilities in both the Scrabo and previously cited area. It requests that both projects now be expedited as quickly as possible. Given the current capital commitment of £100,000 to the Ashbury, Ballycrochan, Kilmaine play park project it notes that one option for the project build could require land acquisition which was unforeseen when the historic budget was allocated. To facilitate this option (if required) it therefore urgently allocates an additional £70,000 to this budget to be used, if required, for the project. This should be incorporated into the current rates setting process. 3 16.5. Notice of Motion submitted by Councillors Adair, Edmund and Thompson That this Council tasks officers to bring forward a report on the provision of disabled access to Cloughey Beach in order to ensure accessibility for all. 16.6. Notice of Motion submitted by Councillor Martin and Councillor McIlveen Council asks Officers to bring back a report on the usefulness and availability of mobile phone apps that can be used by the general public to report dog fouling directly to Officers. 16.7 Notice of Motion submitted by Councillor Smith and Councillor Brooks This Council brings back a report on providing a shelter or sheltered area near the slipway in Donaghadee which would provide cover for the growing numbers of open water swimmers that use the area on a daily basis. It is important that we recognise the many benefits that such activity brings to those that take part - enhancing peoples physical and mental well being. The fact is that a significant number of our residents are swimming in the waters around our coast - we as a Council should not be seeking to deter them in any way, instead we should be looking how we can assist them and in doing so encourage others to improve their lifestyles. As part of the report, the Council will engage with the community in Donaghadee to hear views and ideas on possible solutions. 16.8. Notice of Motion submitted by Councillor Woods and Councillor McKee That this Council notes the recent IPCC report on the impacts of climate breakdown; agrees that drastic and far-reaching measures must be taken across society to try and mitigate the risks and declares a ‘Climate Emergency’. It establishes a working group to assess the impact of the activities of Ards and North Down Borough Council on greenhouse gas emissions, exploring what mitigation measures can be put in place as a matter of urgency. This would include bringing the issues of climate breakdown to the fore in the local community and businesses, as well as formulating a climate adaptation plan. ***IN CONFIDENCE*** 17.

GRZEBORZ BUBAK Jagiellonian University in Cracow, Institute of Linguistics and Translation Studies (Uniwersytet Jagielloński, Instytut Językoznawstwa i Przekładoznawstwa, Kraków ) The Treaty of Trianon and its later consequences in Hungarian fictional film (Traktat z Trianon i jego późniejsze konsekwencje w węgierskim filmie fabularnym ) Historical motifs have marked their presence in Hungarian film almost since the very beginning, as a result of a succession of dramatic events affecting a generation after generation of Hungarians. Filmmakers drew upon the past whenever the opportunity arose. Sometimes it was revisiting the painful experiences of the past or accounting for painful memories. At other times it was a historical narrative never brought before an audience before, for political reasons. Lastly, at times it was the tide of the moment, such as the round anniversary of a historical event. The revolution of 1956, erased by Kádár from the collective memory, the years of Stalinist terror, the sensitive Jewish issue and recently the fates of former prisoners of war returning from the USSR have all found their place in Hungarian film. Is this also the case with topics relating to the 1920 Treaty of Trianon and its traumatizing provisions regarded as one of the most painful dates in Hungarian history? Neither the tragic experience handed down through generations nor the sense of injustice are going away. This text will attempt to answer the question of whether elements relating to Trianon and its consequences for the Hungarian state can be found in Hungarian film productions.
