Havant
Borough 50+ Forum
Questions
submitted via Jan Gough
Questions for
meeting of
Havant Borough 50+ Forum Meeting on Monday 7th December 2009 at which the Guests will be:
Sandy Hopkins, Chief Executive of
Havant Borough Council
Councillor Tony Briggs, Leader of
Havant Borough Council
1) There are moves for the proceedings of Councils to be made available,
live as
Webcasts and as archives, over the Internet, to increase
accountability and democracy. In some areas this is already being done; e.g.
St Alban’s City and District
Council,
Thanet Council
and
Haringey Council.
Does Havant Borough
Council plan to follow this route, particularly in view
of its commitment to “working together with you”, as emblazoned on the cover
of the
Havant Borough Council 2008/09
Annual Report , i.e., presumably, with the
Residents? If not, why not?
Answer awaited
2) Why do Havant Borough Council Officers intercept and block E-mails to
Councillors? Under what Laws and Rules do they do so? Logically, the practice
amounts to the electronic equivalent of the interception, unauthorised
reading and theft of mail.
Answer
awaited
3) Under what circumstances are Council Officers allowed to ignore Residents
when contacted by them? It does happen, has happened?
Answer awaited
4)
Blenheim Gardens and Fifth Avenue have been badly damaged by the Council
allowing residential roads to be used by heavy lorries going to and from
Copsey’s
Nurseries . Grass verges were covered in tarmac to allow lorries to
mount pavements. The number of vehicles has significantly decreased due to
apparent changes in business and trading at
Copsey’s. when will the damaged
road surfaces and substructure, damaged paths and damaged and sunken curbs
be repaired, the grass verges restored and the roads, in general, be
returned to their original layout and condition?
Answer awaited
