From
Cllr Boughton to
(i)
Can the leader tell us whether all our Challenge grants have been awarded
for key worker housing, and for which occupations they were awarded and in which
towns in the South Hams?
From Cllr
(ii)
It was recently announced in the press that South Hams was sending
inspectors to bakeries in the South Hams. How much did this exercise cost?
(iii)
Just before Christmas there was a staff ‘bonding‘ session at
Dartington Hall. Including staff time, how much did this cost?
(iv)
What has been the cost to the council of the planning appeal at Bozomzeal
farm?
From Cllr
(v)
During the last eight years, of all houses built in the South Hams, what
has been the percentage of affordable houses built?
From Cllr
(vi)
How many public loos have been closed in the last four years and how many
are planned to be closed in the near future?
From Cllr
(vii)
In the business case for the call centre presented to the executive in
2003, the worse case scenario predicted revenue savings of £540,000 by the end
of its second year of operation. Given
that the actual savings are in the region of £160,000 is it fair to say the
strategy has been a failure?
From Cllr
(viii) In the strategic plan talk we about improving access to local services. Can you list the practical support we have given to post offices and other rural shops in the past four years?
From Cllr
(ix)
The six co-opted members of the newly formed Salcombe Harbour Board have
prejudicial interests in many of the financial decisions the board has to take.
Why did we not take legal advice about this situation?
