Out and around Holdingham and Sleaford: Town Council Issues

The Sleaford Town Council (on July 24th, 2019) had one or two interesting discussions. Topics that have been discussed before in other contexts. 

The Audio recording is on the Sleaford Town Council web-site but is just over 2 hours long.  However, I have listed the parts of interest in respect to the time period they were discussed. 

The audio recording is here: Audio. 

The highlights I have listed are:

Time:

Public Question 00 to 18.00 mins: Becks and River water (mainly affecting Westholme): 

Community Speed Initiative: 23 mins 10 secs to 46 mins 15 sec. (Cllr Mervyn Head)

Cemetery Access:  1 hour 30mins 32 secs to 1 hour 57 minutes 51 seconds

Other topics include: External Electricity Supply - Market Place: 1 hour 22 minutes 40 secs to 1 hour 30 mins 31

How often should Sleaford Town Councillors meet? Holdingham Councillors included!!!

A debate (I say with some tongue in cheek) took place in the Sleaford Town Council on Wednesday  10 July. The Agenda Item was at 9.1: "Following a recent meeting of the Clerks Management Team we would like to propose that Full Council meetings are changed from every two weeks to every four weeks". 

This Motion was proposed by Cllr Snookes and Seconded Cllrs Melody Shanahan-Kluth and Bozena Allen.

An audio recording of the whole meeting is available on the STC website. Agenda Item 9.1 commences at 1 hr 12 min 45 secs and continues for 56 minutes to 2 hrs  8 minutes 45 secs approximately. 

I have also converted the audio into a video recording and placed it on Youtube (slightly less quality as far as the audio bit is concerned). Video Youtube

THERE ARE ONE OR TWO ISSUES HERE:

1. Standing Orders do not specifically state for 2 weeks.
2. Clerks Management Team is not specifically set-up to formulate timetables for Full Council meetings.

The schedule for meetings has already been implicitly approved by the AGM in May.

However, I will say no more at this point.
