| 12 | Motion A Motion submitted in accordance with Standing Order 29 is set out below. A Motion that refers to matters within the remit of the Executive, or Education Executive, will stand referred to the appropriate body, without discussion, unless:- (1) special circumstances exist which, in opinion of the Provost (having consulted with the Council Leader and the Leader of the main Opposition groups) requires an exception to be made; (2) two thirds of the members present vote in favour of the matter being discussed; or (3) the motion raises an issue with significant impact on the Council area which the Provost, having consulted with the Leader of the Council and the Leaders of the main Opposition groups, considers suitable for debate at Council. The following motion stands referred to the Executive unless otherwise determined by the Provost, having consulted with the Leader of the Council and the Leaders of the main Opposition groups. (a) Funeral Poverty is on the rise, with more families struggling to pay for their loved ones funeral. Nationally increasing numbers of people are having a Paupers Funeral, which Councils have to organise. Stirling Council has recently made changes to their bereavements services plan, whereby they now offer a reduced burial, which offers the relatives a chance to say goodbye. This was done in collaboration with local undertakers who were willing to support this. Council recognises that funeral poverty is on the increase. Council will actively seek opportunities to offer a funeral service that enables grieving relatives to say goodbye whilst keeping costs to a minimum. Council will engage with the local bereavement sector to see where collaborative working can take place to support families who are struggling to afford their loved ones funeral costs. Council asks the Director of Development Services to bring forward a report to an Executive meeting within 3 months. Proposed by Councillor Black View Papers |
