Question to Council

Question to Council regarding TEEN PARTIES at our Community Halls.
I hope to get this answered at the next council meeting as there appeared to be a lack of facts presented at the last meeting.






At the last council meeting (25/08/2009) item 8.5 was passed.
Sitting in the gallery and having read the 3 pages in the agenda I can only assume that most councilors had some extra information to enable them to come to a decision.

If at all possible, could council reconsider this issue, in light of the majority of the our young people doing the right thing but now have been penalised by the minority few?

I would like to know details of all and any incidents at Coldstream Community Centre over the last 3 years, as reviewed by the consultative group.

I would like to know the cost involved in repairs if there were any incidents

I would like to know how many “deposits” or part deposits were not refunded.

Cr Higgins and Avery seem to be aware of other unreported incidents, why were these not in the report?

Could you please answer these questions for all the centers that have now been barred to teenage parties.

Were the Police called to any of these incidents and charges laid? If not why not?
