The meeting received the notes of the meetings of the Dodworth, Kingstone, Stairfoot and Worsbrough Ward Alliances held in October, 2019.

In relation to the Dodworth Ward Alliance, Members heard that the recently held networking event had been a success, with many parts of the community coming together to share ideas.  Also noted was the forthcoming installation of the happy to chat benches, with the first to be installed next to Dodworth Library.

Members noted that Locke Park had received a Gold Award for Yorkshire In Bloom which recognised community activity, including the successful fetes held over the Summer.  Also noted was the reinstatement of the Santa Dash event.

Councillors all gave their thanks to Marcia Cunningham, the Community Development Officer in the Central Area who would be leaving the authority.  Praise was given to her hard work and dedication.  Members were given an update on the recruitment process for her replacement, and were asked to bear with the team whilst they were short staffed.

RESOLVED that the notes and feedback from the Ward Alliances be received.
