Speakers Meeting - Town Council
Wednesday 28th January 2009
The Town Council Speakers group met tonight. This group consists of Chairs of the various working groups and committees. Other Cllrs can attend. The agenda is usually topical, considering issues arising from the last Council meeting, issues for the next, items the officers want to bring forward and a chance to do some more lateral thinking.
Tonight we mulled over: the town market – the disappointment that the AVDC Cabinet seem totally unable to come to terms with the fact that Aylesbury Town Council exists and could have taken on the Town Market, the alternative being a status quo that has nothing to show for itself, allotments – keeping the good work going, twinning - the weekend visit by a delegation from Bourg-en-Bresse, grass verges - the unyielding battle between cars and a decent environment, events – an update on our effective advertising.
The last item was a look at our Vision. Along with other organisations we are looking at influencing the future Local Development Plan, particularly the way that future growth around Aylesbury will affect the town. The Town desperately needs a vision for the town centre that also has links with the surrounding communities. We have a couple of table papers to look at, think about and bring backto the next meeting. Homework!!
