Questions by Elected Members PDF 97 KB To consider any questions which may have been received from Elected Members and which are asked pursuant to Standing Order No. 11.
Councillor N Wright
I hereby ask if this council could facilitate some basic mental health training to all ward councillors should the elected member wish to do so.
With this training elected members could gain a basic understanding to the sign & symptoms some of our residents may be demonstrating as a result of a mental health illnesses whilst out and about serving within our communities.
This can only help achieve a better understanding of how to identify individuals in need of help and along with knowing where to quickly signpost these individuals to such as dedicated mental health organisations and helplines.
Councillor Hunt
In 2020 the council purchased new Speed Indicator Devices and radar boxes. At Full Council on 3rd February 2022 in response to my question regarding the deployment of these important road safety assets the then Cabinet Member reported that the 4th COVID wave had impacted the council’s capacity to roll out the Speed Indicator Devices at that time.
The then Cabinet Member went on to say that “I am pleased to report to Members that this is a temporary situation, which officers are working tirelessly to resolve. In the coming weeks, we will deploy Speed Indicator Devices to Staincross Common (Darton East), Intake Lane (Darton West) and Racecommon Road (Kingstone) - each for a period of 4 weeks.”
Can the cabinet member please explain why the Speed Indicator Device eventually deployed to Staincross Common has remained there, not working, for several months?
Councillor Burnett
Like many parents I often enjoy walking my children to and from school. The physical and mental wellbeing benefits for children are extremely important, especially with the high levels of childhood obesity within the borough, without even mentioning the environmental benefits.
I’m pleased to see the phased introduction of 20mph speed limits outside the Borough’s primary schools, following a successful trial earlier this year. Making sure our roads are safe is vital in helping encourage parents and children to walk or cycle to school.
Could the cabinet member for highways please give us an update on the roll out of the scheme and a rough projected timespan?
Councillor Fielding
Will Trinity School on Broadway be ready to take students by September 2024, by which time the school should be accommodating 720 students?
Councillor P Wright
Does the cabinet member support Age UK Barnsley’s “Take a Seat Campaign”, which aims to support older people in Barnsley to get out and about more by providing suitable resting places?
Councillor Greenhough
Bullhouse Bridge on the Transpennine Trail at Millhouse Green has been closed since May 2022, forcing trail users including walkers, cyclists, horse riders and families to negotiate a diversion via the busy A628.
Can the cabinet member please tell us when the bridge will be reopened? Additional documents: Minutes: |
