Agenda item - Items referred from Council

Item referred from the last meeting of Full Council held on 24 October 2019:

(a)          Deputations

(i)           Pride PVP

            Deputation – Pride PVP

22.1    It was noted that as the Deputee had already presented the Deputation at Full Council they were invited to hear the response and decision of the Committee but did not have the opportunity to speak to the Deputation again. The Committee needed to decide whether to note the Deputation or to call for an officer report.

22.2    The Chair responded in the following terms:

            “Thank you for your Deputation.

            I understand a written response to your deputation has already been sent to you and I cannot add any more to that today, other than to reiterate that a comprehensive review into the PVP was undertaken in 2018 following a deputation to Full Council by the Kingscliffe Society. Concerns raised by the Kingscliffe Society at that time were included in a report to this committee which was considered by members along with other evidence and the results of public consultation. A decision was taken that the event would remain where it is currently held. The written response sent to you following the deputation to council in October 2019, I believe answers the issues you have raised regarding the safety of the event. I am afraid that I don’t have any more that I am able to add in response.”

22.3    RESOLVED – That the content of the deputation and the Chair’s response to it be noted.
