Non-Key Decision

Councillor Jason Zadrozny – Leader of the Council

In accordance with Council Procedure Rule 14.4 (the process for considering a motion that is the responsibility of the Cabinet), Members were requested to further consider a Notice of Motion moved by Councillor Chris Baron and seconded by Councillor Phil Rostance.

The Leader advised Cabinet that he had already been speaking with Adrian Sheldon’s family and it had been provisionally agreed that a street forming part of a new development off Central Avenue, Kirkby in Ashfield would be named in his honour.

In addition, Members were advised that a new sports pavilion being built as part of the Papplewick Green development at Hucknall would be named after Jamie Brough, who had worked tirelessly to introduce and provide sporting opportunities for youngsters.

Members considered the alternative option of just noting the motion and its

recommendations.

RESOLVED

that the following be received and duly noted:

a)    the Motion referred to it by Council on 2 February 2023 relating to street naming, as set out in the report;

b)    the existing policy and process for the naming of streets as appended to and detailed in the report;

c)    that the Leader of the Council is already working with the families mentioned in the motion, with a view to street names being named after the fallen soldiers in the future.

Reasons:

1.    The motion was referred to Cabinet by the Council on 2 February 2023 as the function was an Executive one. The recommendations in the report are to enable Members to note the motion and the existing policy for the naming of streets in order and to ensure Members are aware of the legislation, the Council’s duty and its process.

2.    The Leader also wished Cabinet to be made aware that he is already working with the families of the fallen soldiers mentioned in the motion, with delegated authority already being previously granted to him to make decisions in relation to the naming of streets.
