Decision details

Members received and noted an update on the action taken in response to issues raised at the previous meeting.

The followings were raised at the meeting:

It was noted that officers were still investigating members' concerns about the delay in responding to complaints about potholes and other issues relating to repair works.  It was hoped that a further report would be presented to the next meeting of the Forum.

Concerns were expressed about the census which had been carried out on the A56 and on adjacent backgrounds around Earby this morning.  Members and local employers had not received any notification about the census and it was felt that the census had resulted in many people arriving late for work.  It was agreed that the County Council should be asked to give advance publicity of any plans to undertake a census so people could allow for possible delays in their journey time. 

It was noted that the proposed works on Birtwistle Avenue was about to commence.

It was reported that Pendle Borough Council had considered the campaign for the introduction of a minimum unit price for alcohol for Lancashire.  The Council felt that this should be pursued via national legislation rather than a local by-law.
