Issue - meetings

A total period of 15 minutes is allocated for members of the public to make a statement(s) on any matter that falls within the remit of the Committee.

Individual members of the public may speak for up to 5 minutes, but the Chairman will decide how the period of time allocated for public speaking will be apportioned, where there are a number of speakers

In accordance with the Constitution Mr M Homer, a resident of Macclesfield, addressed the Committee with a view to gaining their support regarding anti social behaviour by a neighbour. The Chairman informed Mr Homer that whilst he had sympathy for Mr Homer’s situation the Committee was not able to provide a remedy. The remit of the Committee did however cover systemic failure of policy and processes or the failure to discharge those policies effectively by officers of the council. As the situation is ongoing and Council officers were dealing with the situation it was therefore not appropriate for the Committee to take any positive actions. However, the Chairman asked that he be kept informed of progress in order as that would help identify if there had been any such failings.
