Agenda item

Members considered the service report card for Neighbourhood Services.

An update was requested in relation to the leasing of the office space within the Gnoll Park and officers confirmed that there would be problems in leasing the space whilst the building is not internet enabled. Officers continued that work  was originally planned to have  been completed by October 2016, in tandem with anticipated local superfast boardband provision as any prospective businesses will require  suchaccess. Officers stated that work will continue with the Council’s ICT Department to take this forward.

Members asked what the current  position was with regards the Gnoll Country Park as it had been raised that more can be done inside the park for example at Christmas on a wonderland theme. It was confirmed that  a company  had a three year  licence to provide the fairground rides within the park.

Members asked for more information on cemetery memorial inspections and officers confirmed that these are ongoing  as the Council has a responsibility to make sure  cemeteries are safe.

Following scrutiny the report was noted.
