Minutes:

The Committee received the Resolutions form the Grand Court of Wardmote.

 

With regards to the Resolution from the Ward of Portsoken (Item 4(a)), the Committee heard that officers had reviewed the complaints from the last six months from the Mansell Street Estate. These had been dealt with in conjunction with Guiness Estates, to ensure that the work was underway with regards to pest control. The Committee heard that the estate manager should be contacted if there were any concerns with pest infestation, and to contact the City Corporation if their issues were not being resolved with the estate manager. There was currently no statutory nuisance or health and safety hazard in the Mansell Street Estate and therefore no formal action. This was kept under continual review.

 

RESOLVED – That the Port Health and Environmental Services Committee receive the Resolutions from the Grand Court of Wardmote.
