EXECUTIVE – 30 SEPTEMBER 2003

FORWARD PLAN AND FUTURE BUSINESS

Council Meeting, 9 September 2003

Motions adopted which request Executive Action

Motion from Councillor Christine Witcher : Communication, Consultation and Scrutiny

"This Council recognizes the importance of producing open and transparent consultations and values the need for good communications between the Executive, Scrutiny Committees and relevant service departments. The Council also supports the work of scrutiny reviews and asks that the Executive continues to strengthen communication and consultation procedures to ensure effective, transparent governance and ensures that all service departments are made aware of the importance of ‘independent scrutiny’ and that they utilize the Scrutiny reports and their findings to further enhance the work of their services."

Motion from Councillor Power : Nitrogen Dioxide Emissions in Central Oxford

"This Council notes the success of the Oxford Transport Strategy in reducing overall emissions in the city centre, but notes that there are some local areas where pollution has increased. The Council therefore asks the Executive to request a report from the Director for Environment & Economy on the Action Plan proposed to reduce Nitrogen Dioxide emissions to meet Air Quality objectives by 2005 in central Oxford."

Motion from Councillor Mrs Dee Bulley : Fire Station for Carterton

"The Council notes the case being made by Carterton Town Council and West Oxfordshire District Council for a Fire Station in Carterton, as well as the long term anxieties of Carterton residents at the absence of a Fire Station in the town, and asks the Executive to ensure that the case for a Carterton Fire Station and possible funding options are included in the programme of work that will be necessary following the implementation of the Fire White Paper post 1 April 2004."
