Report of the Town Clerk.

Members noted the various outstanding actions and the updatess provided thereon.

Members were advised that action 1 would be carried over to the November meeting.

With regards to action 2, the Chairman advised that the Town Clerk sought legal advice concerning the request to change to the Committee’s Terms of Reference to include a disability representative. In principle, there were no legal reasons preventing a dedicated disability representative to the Committee and Officers agreed to progress with this addition and begin looking suitable charities to approach. 

Concerning action 4, the Chairman confirmed that the Committee’s views regarding the COL’s Sport and Physical Activity Strategy were expressed through the further consultation process. It was noted that the Strategy would be discussed at the upcoming Sports Forum meeting and the Corporate Strategy Manager would be in attendance.

A motion would also be put forward at the Court of Common Council meeting the following day concerning the City Corporation’s commitment around sport and physical engagement and the Chairman welcomed support from Members attending Court.

The Chairman advised that action 5 was complete and that a response from English Heritage had been received confirming they noted the responses to consultation and would not be supporting a memorial in the proposed location in Kenwood. Members were pleased with this outcome.
