‘Statutory’ agenda for NTBCC meeting on Monday 13 May

The next NTBCC public meeting will be on Monday 13 May. It will be an online meeting via Zoom (https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84227025876?pwd=B6xb8yGjJFbBuEhsFRTaaPnlxbMPlK.1).

We’re continuing to alternate between ‘in-person’ meetings & those held via Zoom as we believe that this best meets residents’ needs although we’d like to host hybrid meetings (in person as well as access via Zoom) but funds / facilities  currently don’t permit this option at the moment.

The detailed agenda for this meeting will be published in due course, but for now here is the ‘statutory’/framework agenda.

    1. Welcome, introductions and apologies
    2. Approval of draft minutes of April meeting
    3. Matters arising
    4. Policing matters
    5. Transport
    6. Licensing
    7. Culture & Communities
    8. Environment
    9. Engagement / Communications
    10. Planning
    11. Councillors’ reports
    12. Open Forum (for residents to raise any concerns)
    13. AOCB

This is the NTBCC standard agenda. A more detailed agenda with specific topics will be published before the meeting.

As always, members of the public are very welcome to attend this meeting and indeed future meetings (whether in-person or virtual).

Any member of the public who would like to raise an issue in the interim can use the contact form on this website or send us a message via @NTBCC on Twitter and we will respond as soon as we can.
