Minutes:
In the absence of Councillor A. Maskey, in whose name the Motion had been submitted, Councillor M. Browne proposed:
“The Council is concerned about the problems in the Holyland area of the City which have been evident for a number of years. It recognises the work that its officers have undertaken in leading a multi-agency group to take forward interventions to deal with some of the issues which residents have to face.
The Council also welcomes the recent initiative led by the Minister for Employment and Learning, bringing together a Stakeholder Forum aimed at involving all groups in defining the problems and suggesting possible solutions.
To support this work and to ensure a long-term strategic approach, the Council supports the commissioning of a discrete study, led by Council officials in conjunction with other agencies, which specifically identifies the underlying causes of these problems and leads to the development of proposals for a long-term strategic plan for the area.”
The proposal was seconded by Councillor C. Maskey.
After discussion, the Notice of Motion was put to the meeting and passed unanimously. (During discussion on the Motion, Councillor Empey declared an interest in that he was the Minister for Employment and Learning.)
