From Andrew Hodges Your Christchurch Ward Conservative Councillor
February/March 2002 No 84
CIVIC
HALL
THE
DECISION ON THE CIVIC HALL
has been to rebuild at London Road. After four debates the Conservative and
Labour Councillors ensured the Council chose Miller Developments to design the
scheme based on their proposal to build the best specified Civic Hall.
Much play has been made as to whether a foodstore should be built to help
enable the development and thus reduce the Council’s contribution to the cost
of the scheme. NO
decision has yet been taken on this.
Council officers are negotiating with the developers and their results
should be known before the end of April.
At a recent Council meeting one of the Liberal Democrat councillors suggested that only Council tax payers should be consulted! Conservatives disagree with this idea. All people’s views are of importance.
CONSULTATIONS
BOTH
CONSULTATIONS IN THE WARD have
been delayed – for the plans for the extension to Spectrum car park, and Phase
4B parking, albeit for different reasons.
It is likely they will take place before the next edition of ISSUES, so
if you want to make sure you know the date, send Andrew Hodges your email
address and
he will ensure that the dates are emailed to you
The
Residents’ Survey
to provide feedback on how residents are aware, use and are satisfied
with Council’s services is carried out by the Council every two years and
takes place during February.
This will again include a survey of young people.
