The meeting received notes of the Ward Alliances with feedback from each Ward Alliance Chair.  The following further updates were noted:

Cudworth – Two defibrillators are to be installed soon and the St Johns Garden is virtually finished.  The local business community group has expressed interest in installing a Heritage stone in this area. It is hoped that people will volunteer for the Great British Clean-up in the Pocket Park.  Assistance has been given to Exodus for children's activities and new IT equipment provided for the History group. 

Monk Bretton – Members are in the process of getting dates for the Great British Clean-up, which it is hoped will be well attended.  Volunteers and Members did a very good job litter picking in the Monk Bretton area.

North East – The two Ward Alliance vacancies are to be readvertised.  Grimethorpe planters on Brierley Road have now been sorted out and a lot of hard work has been done by Volunteers to clear and plant them up.  Priorities for the year ahead have been set.  There have been lots of litter picks by Volunteers across the area and it is looking very tidy.  Hanging baskets sponsored by businesses have been installed in Grimethorpe.  It is hoped that Christmas events will be able to take place this year.

Royston – Yorkshire in Bloom entries are being planned and there have been flowers planted in the park.  The Healthy Hearts Groups have been involved in deciding locations for the new defibrillators and defibrillator training is being rolled out across the area. Section 106 meetings continue and are always well attended.  Green spaces are currently being assessed and linked to the Council's tree planting programme.  Work at Rabbit Ings is progressing nicely.  The Achievement Awards for schools are to be done individually in the current circumstances.  Summer activities with young people are also being planned.

RESOLVED that the notes from the Ward Alliances be received.
