Agenda and minutes

To provide an opportunity for Members and Officers to declare any personal and/or prejudicial interests in any item on the agenda

No declarations of interest were made.

In accordance with Procedure Rules Nos.11 and 35 a total period of 10 minutes is allocated for members of the public to address the meeting on any matter relevant to the work of the meeting. 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.

During public speaking time, members of the public may ask questions of the appropriate Cabinet member who has responsibility for the matter in question. Where a member of the public wishes to ask a question of a Cabinet member at an executive meeting, 3 clear working days’ notice must be given to the Democratic Services Manager.

There were no members of the public in attendance, and the Cabinet Member, therefore, proceeded to the next item of business.

In accordance with the Council’s Local Development Scheme, a draft Supplementary Planning Document for Alsager Town Centre had been prepared.  The document set out a vision for the town centre and identified a series of objectives.
