| (a) | School Transport Council:- (1) notes the current position regarding school transport for children with more than one residence as set out in the Transport Policy - Operational Guidance; (2) notes that the current policy unfairly impacts children whose parents live separately and the child lives with both parents as only one pass is issued on a specified route and therefore only allows travel to one parent's residence; and (3) instructs the Director of Children's Services to report to the next meeting of Council with:- i) options to provide school transport to children with more than one residence, where each residence meets the distance entitlement, and ii) Information on any cost implications arising therefrom. Proposed by Councillor Kerr |
| (b) | Fireworks Council resolves:- (1) to agree in principle to require all public firework displays within the authority area to be advertised in advance of the event to allow residents to take precautions for their animals and for vulnerable people and requests the Director of Corporate & Housing Services to consider a standard condition to this effect for any public entertainment licence granted for a public firework display; (2) to actively promote a public awareness campaign about the impact of fireworks on animal welfare and vulnerable people - including the precautions that can be taken to mitigate risks; (3) to write to the UK Government urging them to introduce legislation to limit the maximum noise level of fireworks to 90dB for those sold to the public for private use; and (4) to encourage local suppliers of fireworks to stock 'quieter' fireworks for public display.
