Minutes:
The meeting welcomed John Twigg from Twiggs Grounds Maintenance, the contractor delivering the Clean and Tidy Service. It was noted that the service had commenced on 1st September, 2015 delivering an interim work plan, with arrangements in place to develop more substantive work plans with both Ward Alliances in the Area.
Members noted that a steering group would be convened shortly, which would promote working relationships with other environmental groups in the area, and avoid duplication.
The meeting heard how three full time members had been allocated to the area as part of the contract. This included an apprentice who had initially started with Twiggs on a work placement delivering a contract for Central Area Council.
It was noted that feedback from Members and residents had been
positive in the first two weeks of the contract, and the area was
already improving visually.
