Agenda item

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.

Responses may be supplied in writing following the meeting.

A resident raised some matters that traders at The Blue had highlighted regarding recent improvements in the market square. There were lots of snagging points not being dealt with despite numerous requests having been made. Among these were: pitch markings, signage, lighting, cracked paving stones, benches and plants all requiring attention. The chair said that she would follow up on the points raised with relevant officers.

In response to a request by residents to postpone the felling of some plane trees on Rotherhithe New Road, members said they would explore the possibility of delaying felling and look into the situation further with Living Streets and other local groups.

Councillor Eliza Mann reported a problem raised by residents at a recent West Area Forum. There were concerns about water leaks, broken lights and pigeon droppings under Abbey Street Arch. The chair asked officers to look into the situation which may involve railway ownership and some recent Section 106 funding.
