This is an opportunity for public questions to be addressed to the chair.

 

Residents or persons working in the borough may ask questions on any matter in relation to which the council has powers or duties.

Minutes:

The following questions were raised at the meeting.

 

Q1

 

 

Local resident:

Are there any proposals for the North Dulwich Triangle for controlled parking?

 

A1

Response from councillors was that a number of residents have asked for this but the council said they would be considering a controlled parking zone in this area. The Dulwich Society were also seeking comments from residents about this issue.

 

Q2

Mary from the Fair Trade Centre at Christ Church:

The council needs to renew their fair trade borough status by August 2014. Otherwise the council will lose fair trade borough status and it could take some time to get it back.  The council received  their fair trade status in 2007.

A2

The chair agreed to follow this up.

Following the community council meeting, an officer from the housing strategy and partnerships team confirmed that he was in the process of renewing the fair trade status for Southwark and that the deadline for this would be extended.
