Minutes:
The report of the Strategic Director, Place, (Document “Q”) outlined the work of the Keighley Area Co-ordinator’s Office in the period April to September 2018 to support ward priorities contained within the Keighley Area Ward Plans 2018-19.
It was explained that appended to the report were highlighted selected pieces of work which reflected the types of activities and actions undertaken between April to September 2018, within Wards that had contributed to addressing the priorities within the Keighley Area Ward Plans 2018-19. They were not an exhaustive list of actions but were intended to provide a flavour of the nature of activities that had been undertaken. Members were assured that a full progress report of the Ward Plans would be provided and that they would receive copies of that report.
The Strategic Director, Place, thanked the Ward officers and expressed his appreciation of their hard work.
The report outlined the role of Council Wardens which included supporting community engagement and their work during Days of Action, Street Surgeries and work with schools and individual local residents. It was explained that those actions were in addition to their duties for Parking and Environmental Enforcement. In response to questions Members were advised that the street surgeries were a joint initiative with West Yorkshire Police. Analysis had concluded that using the same format in all locations was not the best approach. In most areas the school gate surgeries worked well but the walkabout sessions were not as successful. The Ward Officers had agreed to utilise the most appropriate method in each area. A Member suggested that Wardens participate in the walkabout sessions undertaken by Incommunities. The potential to invite Members to become involved was also proposed.
The appendix to Document “Q” detailed summer activities undertaken at Riverside Gardens, Ilkley. A Member representing the Ilkley Ward expressed his appreciation for the involvement of the Youth Service in that initiative.
Members thanked all the Neighbourhood Officers for their support to achieve the outcomes contained in the Ward Plans.
Resolved –
That the work of the Keighley Area Co-ordinator’s Office in the period April to September 2018 to support ward priorities within the Keighley Area Ward Plans 2018-19 be noted.
