NOTICES OF MOTION

The following Notice of Motions have been received:- 

 

1. Waste Collection and Recycling

 

In view of the number of petitions and other forms of protest submitted by members of the general public  relating to the policy decision to collect the residual bins from domestic properties within Bury on a three weekly basis, this Council resolves to refer this decision back to the Cabinet Member for         reconsideration.

 

This Council recognises there are many other ways of collecting waste which will achieve the required level of recycling in Bury by 2016.

 

 

 

         In the names of Councillors I Bevan, R Caserta, J Daly, I Gartside, D Gunther, R Hodkinson, K Hussain, S Nuttall, R Walker, J Walton and Y Wright

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Fostering

 

This Council celebrates the achievements we have made, regarding the increase of in house foster carers, as we recognise that this brings better outcomes for our children and is more cost effective. Unfortunately, demand is still high and we need to use this council meeting to raise and discuss this issue and to ask this council as corporate parents to promote fostering within all avenues.  From this debate there will also be a full all members briefing. I urge this council to debate this motion in full, supporting the council in its endeavours.

 

In the names of Councillors  P Adams,  N Bayley, J Black, S Briggs, P Bury, G Campbell, S Carter, D M Cassidy, M Connolly, A J Cummings, E FitzGerald L Fitzwalter, J Frith, J Grimshaw, S Haroon, P Heneghan, T Holt, A Isherwood, M A James, D Jones, S Kerrison, J S Lewis, A K Matthews, J Mallon, E O’Brien, N A Parnell, A Quinn, K Rothwell, R Shori, A Simpson, S Smith, J Smith, S Southworth, T Tariq,  S Walmsley and M Whitby.
