The meeting adjourned from 11.00 until 11.08a.m.
Group Manager Infrastructure Alec Louverdis advised that this matter raised through the Chair’s Report in February 2021 and sat within the delegations of the Infrastructure Committee, noting the Chair’s report belongs to the Chair. He said that the Committee on the day had taken into consideration the wide range of views presented by Committee members following the discussion of the above matter. He noted that the engagement undertaken as part of that report was not as comprehensive as the engagement since undertaken to inform the report in front of the Committee, and that whilst the decision table was not part of the Chairs report, that the outcome of that debate was that no decision was made on a specific location for a pride crossing, but requested more work to be done. The result of that was the report currently being considered by the Committee.
Councillor Rainey returned to the meeting at 11.12a.m.
The meeting adjourned at 11.58a.m. at which time Her Worship the Mayor Reese left the meeting.
