Royston – It was reported that Autumn planting has been carried out with local schools.  Carol singing and the Christmas lights switch on went very well.  The S106 group is pulling together plans for the pavilion in Royston Park.  It was felt that the central S106 pot was underutilised and that more information is needed around the criteria for spend and involving other interested parties.  The  Albert Shepherd event went well, family members were  involved and thanks were expressed to both the Mayor’s Office and the Royal British Legion.  Figures from the DIAL project indicate that the service is performing extremely well and is well attended, with a huge social return on investment.  There were reports of problems in Carlton Cemetery.  The gates have been temporarily welded shut to address the problem. 

RESOLVED that the notes from the Ward Alliances be received.
