COUNCILLOR: Jenny Greener
WARD: Bewdley & Arley
Section 1: Ward Activities (including Surgeries)
I have attended Parish Council meetings throughout the year and followed up on enquiries relating to speeding, parking, transport and other issues brought up at the meetings.
I do not hold regular surgeries but am always available to discuss matters brought to my attention, including parking, signage, potholes, fly tipping, a dispute with Openreach, noise pollution etc.
I also participate in Bewdley Development Trust meetings and again follow up discussion points.
I am a member of Citizens Advice Bureau Board of Trustees and have been involved in the opening of the Bewdley Branch.
I am a Governor of Bewdley Primary School, on the operations sub-committee and have attended training, i.e. New Members course and Critical Friend course.
Section 2: Council Meetings
Apart from attending full Council meetings, I am a member of the following:
Budget Review Panel- attended five meetings plus a training session. I was involved in the decision on budget priorities for the coming year.
Corporate Resources Scrutiny committee – I am Vice-Chairman and apart from full meetings have attended 8 briefing sessions with the Chairman and Officers. I have also attended all Corporate Performance Clinics and I was a member of the Corporate Performance Clinic Review Panel.
Licensing and Environmental - I have attended all meetings which included covering Street Furniture Regulations, licensing and inspecting Hackney carriages and was a member of a sub-committee reviewing the premises licence for a local public house.
Parking Review Panel - I am part of a team reviewing the regulations for off-street parking and Bewdley residents' parking permits. We are due to meet with Bewdley residents shortly to discuss issues.
Regulatory Services Review Panel – I attended two presentations on Worcestershire Enhanced Two Tier (WETT) - countywide shared services.
No Barriers Review Panel - I am a member of the panel looking at ways to promote and consolidate the conditions for nominations and improve the award ceremony.
Section 3: Achievements
I have had some small achievements locally such as having grit bins serviced and re-sited, and a section of road resurfaced. I am involved with the working parties above and I feel my main achievement was feeling able to discuss topics more confidently and put over my point of view.
