In brief
Councillor Roger Hayes commented that "We do do stuff. We do good stuff. And again, like everything else, we probably should blow our trumpet about that from time to time." He highlighted the lack of response from officers to a paper submitted by the Friends of Seething Wells and requested it be brought forward for consideration. The councillor proposed refusing a new care home due to its scale and design, and also proposed refusing a Kingston University teaching block on grounds of height and impact on heritage assets. He questioned what was special about a particular house becoming an HMO, stating "There is nothing intrinsically bad about HMOs, and every house could become one." Councillor Hayes inquired about Key Performance Indicators and milestones to measure the success of Mental Health Act reforms.
