Regarding Minute No.48.2 (Empty Homes in Northumberland), Councillor Gallacher asked members to note that there were very few people in the team delivering this service and further government cutbacks could jeopardise the effectiveness of the team. The service also needed to better connected with other services within the Council and this should be taken into to account when reviews were carried out because long term empty homes attracted problems.

 

Also regarding Minute No.60.2 (Local Services – Highways Maintenance), he urged members to support the interactive reporting system as this could be rolled out to other services. The Leader supported these comments.
