Agenda item

This is an opportunity for public questions 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.

Responses may be supplied in writing following the meeting.

The community council received two soap box questions/comments from Kenneth Hoole concerning:

1.  Further information on Southwark Council’s case in the High Court regarding allegations of illegal tipping in a Southwark Cemetery.  Also what the Council are doing to prevent future illegal tipping taking place in Camberwell old cemetery and Camberwell new cemetery.

AGREED:

That the above question should be referred to Environment and Housing for a response.

2.  The Government’s White Paper - proposing fundamental changes to the National Health Service. Ken attended a meeting with the general practitioners committee of the British Medical Association where the above paper was discussed.  The consultation period ends on 6 October 2010 which gives little time for Southwark to consult on the proposals. 

AGREED:

DCC asks for a delay in the consultation period.
