Members were concerned about the scale of costs these motions may incur.

 

Members voiced caution that Gosport Borough Council should concentrate and focus on what could practically be delivered commensurate with the size and capability of the Borough.

 

Members wished to see a very open consultation with the public offering them every opportunity to submit their views and comments, within a specified timescale in particular involving young people through virtual platforms.

Officers wished to reassure Members that once consultation mechanisms were developed there would be more detail provided regarding methodology, which would be Covid compliant.

 

 

 

 

8 ANY OTHER ITEMS

A Member hi-lighted the need for the Climate Change Board to consider the implications and reactions to every action they take. The example of water coolers being replaced by bottles that would be filled from the tap at a time when water needs conserving was cited.

 

The Chairman thanked the members for the comments and feedback regarding training needs, and would try to provide a package of training to suit all requirements within the limited budget.
