Neighbourhood Watch

Katy reported that the groups were changing and most kept in touch by email. The data base needed to be
kept upto date and interesting infomation needed to be disseminated. A DNA kit for marking property was
now available, free ot charge, from the Police.

Councillors

Councillors Debbie Collinson and Rock Feilding Mellen were in attendance. Natalie asked about the cost of the free magazine detailing Council activities and the cost of the mayoral Bentley. The magazine costs
£400,000 per annum and the Bentley cost £80,000 to buy. Councillor Rock Feilding said that many people
do not have access to the internet or email and need to know what is going on in the Borough. Natalie felt
the magazine was for propaganda.

It was ascertained that Merrick Cockell, Leader ofthe Council, earns £133,000 per annum. David de Haas
felt that the Council was doing an excellent job, particularly as Kensington & Chelsea has the fourth lowest
Council Tax.

There was a discussion regarding Section 106 for public art. Councillors felt there could be a better use of
this public money, particularly for apprenticeships. Those present agreed.

Residents Associations

Justin Downes would like there to be an umbrella organisation for local residents’ associations so that there would be more weight when important matters were being discussed. This was supported by those
present. The committee agreed to take steps to contact other groups.

Basements

Natalie raised concerns, shared by many at the meeting, about the number of basements being dug in the
area as she felt these could undermine the borough. She mentioned flooding in Ladbroke Grove and
settlement cracks in Holland Fark. Councillors shared residents' conoems but said that planning laws made
it difficult for these applications to be refused as residents had a right to improve their properties. However,
they did think that a “Localism Bill” would greatly assist.

Accounts

The 2010 accounts were passed by the meeting,
