Agenda
The Council meeting began with tributes to recently deceased former Councillors Neville Daniels, Shawn Creighton, Lois Lee, and tributes were also read out on behalf of Councillor Ravi Govindia who could not be present. Councillor Peter Graham proposed an adjournment to highlight the Alton Renewal Plan, which the Council voted for. The Conservative group proposed a motion of no confidence in the Labour administration, arguing that it was incompetent, secretive, and unresponsive to residents’ concerns, particularly regarding waste collection and alleged changes to the constitution to avoid scrutiny. This motion was defeated. Councillor Cassidy proposed a second adjournment, this time to highlight the impact of the closure of Hammersmith Bridge. This motion was defeated too. The Council voted to approve changes to the constitution, and to approve the Housing and Annual Resources report. Finally, a Labour group motion stating that the Council will work with the national government to deliver on shared policy objectives was passed.
Agenda and draft minutes
The meeting agreed the council's budget for 2024-25. The Executive also agreed to a number of other proposals including the Alton estate renewal plan, the acquisition of 56 sheltered housing units in Springfield Village and the extension of the council's breakfast clubs to all schools in the borough.
Agenda
The committee agreed to allow the council to use electronic signatures for contracts, and to change the way the council manages replies to motions during council meetings. The committee rejected two amendments put forward by the opposition Conservative group and approved the rest of the proposals put forward by the Labour Group.
