The next meeting of Bingham Town Council is tomorrow evening, 7.00pm, Tuesday, 9th March 2010, residents are welcome to attend (and ask questions) subject to Council Chamber capacity.

Various items raised in recent posts will be updated by Councillors, including, new and replacement Play area equipment on the Birds estate and Crowe Close (Cogley Lane,) the Community Centre project and a motion calling on the Notts PCT to meet with Bingham Town Council and discuss the absence of progress with the Health Centre issue.

Meeting minutes of the full Council and the Committees are included on the Town Council web-site for information, after they are formally approved.

Don't forget to read the Town News, inserted each month into The Buttercross Parish magazine, which also includes updates on what Bingham Town Council is doing.

Also anyone can contact me or any of my fellow Councillors by e-mail with questions, etc, or by telephone. I am also quite happy to speak with you without identifying yourself.

Nice to hear from you but unfortunately not all of us can attend council meetings

Could you please post the out come of the meetings on this website, as i too lead a very busy life and fitting in council meetings would be a hard challenge.

I know you said things get put in the buttercross etc but i would much rather read online than attempt to search through a booklet, I apologise in saying I get so many booklets come through my door that they go straight in the blue bin.

Thank you for your comments so far, I do realise not everyone can attend Council meetings and I concede they are not always the most exciting spectator event.

The Promotion Working Group, which reports to the Community Committee of Bingham Town Council, are reviewing the Bingham Town Council website, www.bingham-tc.gov.uk, as part of it's work, to continue to improve communication generally. The views of those who primarily prefer to receive information via on-line sources are particularly welcome. However, don't be too hard on us, we don't have the resources of some of the more sophisticated interactive sites, just yet.

Cllr. Francis Purdue-Horan
Chairman, Community Committee.

Hi Councillor Purdue Horan
Please would you let me know when the minutes of the last full council meeting will be published. I keep looking through your link on Bingham Together under Useful Websites but nothing as yet. I am of course extremely interested in what was said re all recent concerns.
Ps thanks for your responses - it appears that at least you have public interest at heart unlike some of your colleagues who are so aloof they must be in the stratosphere and unable to correspond via this site. Is it really beneath them to comment here - after all it is Bingham Together and is an excellent way of disseminating information relative to all of us who have the interests of Bingham at heart?

The minutes of the last full Bingham Town Council meeting are subject to approval and/or amendment as a true record and may not be posted until nearer the next meeting on 4th May. Councillors recognise the difficulties with statutory records of meetings being subject to the delays of legal protocol, etc.

Nevertheless, you raise a good point and perhaps a new page on the BTC website with a simple list of decisions taken will be helpful in improving this situation.

I will raise it with the Town Mayor, Cllr. Mrs Stockwood and the Town Clerk, Mrs Holland, next week on her return from leave.

Cllr Francis Purdue-Horan.
