Notice of Motion - Better Queensway

20/09/2019 - Notice of Motion - Better Queensway

At the meeting of the Council held on 18th July 2019, Councillors received a Notice of Motion relating to the Better Queensway development. The motion was proposed by Councillors Davidson and Garston and supported by 16 other Conservative Councillors (this had been referred to Cabinet in accordance with Standing Order 8.4).

 

Resolved:-

 

1.    That it be noted that the Council has made a commitment to seek an increase on the current provision of 441 affordable homes (paragraph 3.19 of the report to Cabinet on 12th February 2019, refers)

 

2.    That it be noted that a strong relationship between the two partners has been formed and formalised through the formation of the JV partnership which is the vehicle for delivery of the Project. The details of the partnership, including the financial commitments made by the Council and Swan, are captured in the signed partnership agreement and ancillary legal agreements. Expeditious delivery of the Project is one of the agreed underlying principles of the procurement, though this must be balanced against disruption and financial viability.

 

3.    That in addition to the consideration of reports from the Shareholder Board to Cabinet in reference to the Project, an informal biannual (minimum) update for elected councillors is undertaken through e-newsletters, briefings or similar processes.

 

4.    That it be noted that resident, business and stakeholder communication and engagement is fundamental to the Project and is being captured in a communication and engagement plan for the JV. This will ensure that residents and businesses are kept up to date with the progress of the Project with opportunities to influence and shape it where possible and appropriate.
