Notices in the local press announced the start of the review and invited comments from members of the public and from interested bodies. 3» On 1 August 1979 the County Council submitted to us a draft scheme in which they suggested 71 electoral divisions for the County, each returning one member in accordance with Section 6(2)(a) of the Act.

Code of Conduct – Declaration of Interests The Chair reminded Members of their responsibility to declare any personal interest or prejudicial interest which they have with regard to any item of business on the agenda, no later than when the item is reached. 053/2011 RECESS (a) Lack of Crossing Point to the Forest Park from Gorse Covert A resident who attended tonight’s meeting raised her concern regarding the lack of a crossing point from Gorse Covert to Birchwood Forest Park. She said that she uses the park every afternoon and where she crosses, near the entrance to the park’s car park although there are dropped kerbs, there is no central reservation to break the journey across the carriageway, which is a very busy road. She is often forced to rush and as she walks with a crutch this is difficult. This afternoon she fell whilst trying to cross quickly as an approaching car appeared to have no intention of slowing.
