| (a) | Woodburn Day Nursery "Council notes that, once again, the expected date of closure for the Woodburn Nursery has slipped with a new expected closure date at the end of October 2011. Council further notes that the Council has been unable to provide all local children with a place in a local nursery following this cut in service. Council therefore resolves to cancel the amalgamation of the Woodburn and Queen Street nurseries on the following grounds:- " The local community around the Woodburn Nursery have demonstrated that the facility is a centre piece of the community and therefore should be retained " The Council have been unable to ensure nursery places as a result of the amalgamation and closure programme". Proposed by Councillor Alexander |
| (b) | Public Art "The visual quality of the built environment has a major influence on the image of the area particularly when integrating new development into a post industrial setting. This Council wishes to encourage the highest possible standards when public art is to be inserted into urban landscape settings so that it does not permanently compromise historic sites or adversely detract from existing visual amenity. The Council will work to achieve this aim by constituting a cross party working group supported by appropriate cultural services officers in order to provide a co-ordinated approach to the commissioning and purchase of public art in whole or in part. This body will take into consideration cost, purpose location, heightening of local identity and sense of place when making its recommendations to the relevant committee." Proposed by Councillor Coleman View Papers |
