Minutes:
(a) The Leader of the Council
The Leader advised that he had attended a number of meetings which included an invitation from the Leader of Broxbourne Borough Council with Harlow and East Herts Councils to discuss the proposed Waste Incineration Plant facility at Dobbs Weir. The proposed plant would take the whole of Hertfordshire’s residual waste, operating 365 days a year. He advised that it would be an emotive planning application with a number of environmental concerns for local residents and agreed that all the councils would liaise as the application proceeded. He also continued to attend the Duty to Co-operate meetings with Councillor J Philip and Councillor R Bassett for the Local Plan. Furthermore, the Leader advised that the Council had been successful in jointly securing £500,000 for the Harlow and Gilston Garden Town bid, which covered the strategic sites to the south and west of Harlow in this District.
In addition he had been looking into the feasibility of creating a Local Housing Company with the Housing Portfolio Holder, which he would be reporting back to members about.
Finally, he attended the public meeting with the Police Crime Commissioner (PCC), Roger Hirst, which he advised had been very informative and demonstrated PCC plans for the future of the district.
