Presentation from the Department of the Built Environment.

The Committee received a presentation from Officers in the Built Environment regarding the Local Account. The Board noted that health issues in the current local plan included the need to:

·       Maximise health services and facilities, particularly for residents.

·       Encourage private health facilities.

·       Support St. Bartholomew's Hospital.

·       Encourage sports and recreation facilities.

·       Encourage pedestrian routes.

·       Seek to reduce exposure to pollution.

·       Encourage public toilet provision.

Members queried whether the use of closed questions limited the scope and validity of the consultation. Officers informed Members that the open ended questions would be included so that each question enabled the person to suggest a solution to the issue being raised.

Resolved – that the presentation be received.
