Agenda item - Chair's Communications

39.1    The Chair gave the following communication:

Today we will be starting off with Our City Transport Plan where we are being asked to comment on the first draft following a period of public consultation that ended in September. The draft plan will be going to Cabinet for approval later in the year.   

Next, we will be looking at the evolution of Pride in Kemptown following the changes made to the location of the street party, how successful this was and any learning to come out of it to inform future plans. 

Following that, we will hear about the Sports Facilities Investment Programme which is a 10 year plan and we are currently halfway through. This is a look to see the main achievements and what the priorities are moving forward. 

Our last presentation will be about tree diseases in the city; how they are being managed, what emerging threats there are and future plans to look after the city’s trees. 

We will end with a look at the scoping report for the next task & finish group on heritage, which we hope to set up soon.  

In the interests of time, can I please request that both those asking and answering questions are as brief and to the point as possible, as we want everyone who wishes to contribute to have the opportunity to do so. We also don’t want the meeting to overrun too much into the evening.
