Our first full council meeting of 2010 is on Wednesday 19 January. The main business of the evening is the acceptance of a report on the project to share administration (‘back office’) costs for our landlord services and members of the Shepway Tenants’ and Leaseholders’ Board are in the public gallery to listen to the debate. The council agrees overwhelmingly to take this project forward.
Questions are put by councillors about Dungeness Power Station, the Leas Lift and the prospects for sharing administration costs with other East Kent councils. We also have a report from the Leader of the Council and we accept the Medium Term Capital Programme.
We have three formal debates. One put forward by the Liberal Democrats on green eco tourism for the Romney Marsh and, from the Conservative Group, one motion about bus services and one about the response by Kent County Council to the recent heavy snow. There are some differences between councillors but tonight’s debates are characterised more by the areas of agreement than difference.
Our next meeting is on 18 February to set the budget and the level of council tax.
