The meeting received the notes from the following Ward Alliances:- Hoyland Milton and Rockingham held on 19^th May, 2021; Wombwell held on 17^th May, 2021; and Darfield held on 27^th May, 2021.

It was noted that efforts to provide hanging baskets in Darfield had come to fruition with the majority of feedback received being overwhelmingly positive.  Members also heard of the issue of flies in the area, which had also been experienced in the Wombwell Ward in the past.

It was noted that membership of the Darfield Ward Alliance had fallen, and social media had been used to promote this to interested parties.  It was noted that consideration was being given to holding meetings in evenings in order to engage people who also worked.

Feedback was also positive from the Hoyland Milton and Rockingham Ward Alliance with regards to hanging baskets, but concerns were expressed about the watering schedule, should weather be warm and dry.

Wombwell Ward Alliance had met with Twiggs Grounds Maintenance to discuss which areas to target within the Ward.  The team would work with the Private Sector Housing Officer to target the Blythe Street area.

It was noted that the Ward Alliance had also discussed after school provision for children with special educational needs.  It was noted that working group had been established to consider this in more detail and to engage residents.  This would then inform any provision provided by the Ward Alliance.

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