In brief
Councillor Anita Schaper spoke in favour of a motion regarding the Armed Forces Covenant, stating that "the Covenant promises must mean more than just words." She also stated that the right for any councillor to write in on a planning application is not lost, only who is allowed to speak at a planning committee is being determined. The councillor stated that outsourcing the Blue Badge appeals process would "streamline the process, making it more equitable and efficient for residents." She explained the necessity for a standalone Health & Wellbeing Board due to changes in the NHS and neighbourhood systems.
