Questions under Standing Order No. 19

To receive questions from Councillors in accordance with Standing Order No.19.

 

Question submitted by Councillor Fordham:

 

“Given the apparent policy within the CBC Housing is to replace damaged doors from Council Estates and Properties rather than repair them, what steps does the Council take to ensure that such waste, which appears to go into skips for collection, does not just go to landfill?”

 

Question submitted by Councillor Fordham:

 

“It is now a year since the Elder Way Co-op store for food closed - a situation driven largely by a reduction in footfall and the pandemic. Given this sits at the heart of Northern Gateway with the new car park, the Enterprise Centre and of course the development of the empty shops that comprise the former Co-op Department Store - isn't this now the time to lead by example regarding town centre living and offer in-town housing flats and apartments in the Council owned former Co-op food store building?”

Notice of Motion Under Standing Order No. 21

To consider the motion submitted by Councillor Serjeant in accordance with Standing Order No. 21:

 

Motion to Adopt the All-Party Parliamentary Group Definition of Islamophobia

 

That Chesterfield Borough Council believes racism in all its forms is unacceptable and must be stamped out. Recent high profile cases have shown that islamophobia is still rife in areas where young people often look for role models such as in the world of sport. It is, therefore, proposed that this Council adopts the All-Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims’ definition of Islamophobia –

 

"Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.”-

 

to demonstrate solidarity with our Muslim communities and to assist the Council in furthering aim of putting our Communities First and improving the lives of the people of Chesterfield.
