Minutes:
The Director of Neighbourhood Services submitted a report about the process used in effecting temporary road closures in East Hertfordshire.
Councillor J Wyllie thanked the Officers for the full and detailed report which had been submitted at his request. He raised the issues associated with Bishop’s Stortford Carnival last year, the problems associated with poor communication and queried whether the process could be simplified. The Head of Community Safety and Health Services explained how the process worked in terms of the Council acting as a facilitator and its liaison with Hertfordshire Highways. The difficulties of applicants using out of date forms was discussed. He concurred with the Member regarding the need for better communication. Councillor J Wyllie suggested that all Town Clerks be forwarded new forms. This was supported.
The Committee received the report.
RESOLVED – that (A) the report be received; and
(B) Officers be requested to forward new application forms to all Town Clerks.
