Meeting Details

This Council notes that the infrastructure in Hucknall is already struggling from a lack of medical provision, school places and the roads are gridlocked.  In recent years, there has been huge number of housing developments in the area.

We therefore call for the Leader of Nottinghamshire County Council to hold an urgent meeting with the Leaders of Ashfield District Council and Gedling Borough Council to work together to ensure the local infrastructure in Hucknall and Gedling is improved in the area affected by any future developments.

In May 2019, a motion calling for Nottinghamshire County Council to set a carbon neutral target, and implement an associated governance structure to closely monitor carbon emissions, received unanimous support from all Members of this Chamber.

This Council notes the time that has since passed, and believes it is now imperative to commit to carbon neutrality in all its activities by 2030.

This Council abhors modern slavery and human trafficking, and has taken an active role in raising awareness of these crimes - which are often hiding in plain sight - with members, officers, and partners. This Council welcomes measures undertaken by our Trading Standards, Contracts Management and Procurement departments to prevent Modern Slavery, but acknowledges the importance of remaining vigilant against such appalling crimes.

This Council therefore instructs the Chief Executive to undertake work confirming that all of the council’s service providers, partners, and suppliers comply with our values, and further requests that the Chief Executive brings a report to update members on this work to a future meeting of the Policy Committee.
