Minutes from the committe meeting of Residents Association
(DRA) and Neighbourhood Watch on Monday 10th November
2014 at 6pm in the Old Crown restaurant. 1. Roll Call and Apologies Present: Amber Smart, Lee McDonald, Rosie Pocklington, Trevor Cobden, Sarah Higginson, Pamela Pinski, John Gordon. Apologies: David Barnes. 2. Approval of Minutes The minutes from Octobers meeting of DRA were approved. 3. Matters Arising a. Planning Applications The new chip shop on Bradford Street has not yet opened; Rosie informed the meeting that the planned opening date was Thursday 13 November. An application for a shisha lounge at Wrentham Street had been rejected, but an application for another shisha lounge at 96 Rea Street had just been received. DRA will be responding accordingly. Birmingham City Council is reviewing its licencing agreement, which contains a landmark clause for Digbeth in terms of disagreements between planning and licencing committees: it states that when there is a disagreement over, for example, opening hours, the earlier decision overrules any proceeding decisions. b. Tram Route Consultation The public consultation for the proposed tram route through Digbeth is now closed. However, we understand that significantly more online responses were received to this consultation than in the past, and that there is a strong public preference for one route. DRA would like to thank all our supporters for taking the time to respond to the consultation it has certainly made a difference! 4. Digbeth Community Awards The nominations for the Digbeth Community Awards were discussed and the winners agreed. The awards will be distributed during Decembers meeting. 5. Any other business a. The Big Lunch 2015 The date for the national Big Lunch event has been announced as Sunday 7 June 2015. Lee confirmed that the indoor beach at the Rainbow will be unavailable on this date, but was willing to discuss other potential venues. b. Nechells Ward Meeting The next Nechells Ward Meeting will take place on Thursday 22nd January 2015 at 6pm at Nechells Green Community Centre. DRA would like to encourage as many of our members to attend as there are likely to be significant announcements made that will affect Digbeth. 6. Date and Time of Next Meetings The next committee meeting will be held on Monday 12th January 2015 at 6pm in the Old Crown restaurant, High Street Digbeth. The next open meeting will be held on Monday 9th February 2015 at 6pm in the Old Crown restaurant, High Street Digbeth. This will also be the Annual General Meeting for DRA.
