Issue - meetings

To consider a referral from the Overview and Scrutiny Committee following on from  the Access for Disabled People Task Group Monitoring Update.

(Report attached)

Councillor Andy Fry presented a report on behalf of the Access for Disabled People Task Group and Overview and Scrutiny Committee in respect of a referral concerning the erection of a canopy over the entrance ramp access to Shopmobility. It was noted that there was sufficient money available through the Shopmobility Donation Reserves to more than adequately fund this and members were happy to support the proposal. The referral was therefore agreed on the basis that the money be made available from the Shopmobility Donation Reserves rather than being released from balances.

RECOMMENDED that

funding of £5,000 be released from the Shopmobility Donation reserves to meet the costs associated with the installation of a canopy over the access ramp to Shopmobility.
