The meeting received the notes from the Penistone East and West Ward Alliance held on 24^th September, 2015.

An update was given regarding the development of a Neighbourhood Plan for Penistone.  It was noted that this would be for the area covered by Penistone Town Council, which included parts of both Penistone West and East Wards.

Members referred to the Community Led Plan for Penistone and the hope that this could be utilised in order to assist the timely development of the Neighbourhood Plan.

The meeting discussed the presence of police in the Penistone area.  It was noted that numbers of PCs had diminished and this had impact on the service being delivered in the area.  Discussion suggested that a reduction in service and corresponding impact also applied to other emergency services.   Members agreed to ensure the issue continued to be raised with the Police and Crime Commissioner.

RESOLVED that the notes from the Penistone East and West Ward Alliance held on 24^th September, 2015 be received.
