Ros on the Council
10th November 2006 - Martin Ray
Your newest Town Councillor, Ros Kayes has been busy both in the Council Chamber and the community. Ros was selected as a member of the Plans Committee and says “I was amazed to discover how often Bridport town councillors’ recommendations on local planning applications are overridden by West Dorset district councillors who appear to care nothing for Bridport and West Bay’s wishes and priorities.”
At her second Full Town Council meeting Ros put forward a motion asking councillors to help “nip in the bud” anti-social behaviour by some young people. Councillors agreed to discuss this issue at the new Environment and Social Wellbeing Committee and to take a more active part in a working group which combines police, youth workers and others at the Bridport Youth Centre. Cllr Maggie Ray added that “various parents have raised concerns about young people overstepping the boundaries. For their own safety as well as ours we need to take action at all levels of the community to keep Bridport a safe and special place for both young and old”.
