Agenda item

The Area Council received the minutes of the previous meeting held on 8^th February, 2018.

The meeting noted that the consultation on the additional housing sites in the villages had now closed, with developers having submitted objections on the basis that further additional sites should be included.  There was concern that developers would be emboldened to submit applications in what local Members considered to be inappropriate locations, although it was noted that the conclusion of the Local Plan would make it easier to resist them in planning terms. 

Members referred to the proposed Ward Alliance funding application in respect of activity associated with Tour de Yorkshire.  Whilst fewer visitor numbers were anticipated in Penistone compared to last year’s cycle race, work was being undertaken to make this a successful event and attract large numbers of spectators.  Consideration was being given to storage arrangements for banners and other equipment associated with the cycle races, perhaps somewhere in the Paramount Cinema, although there was likely to be a cost associated with this.

RESOLVED that the minutes of the Penistone Area Council meeting on the 8^th February, 2018 be approved as a true and correct record.
