Alistair Finnie addressed the meeting concerning Living Streets Aotearoa. Mr Finnie spoke to his concerns regarding the inconsiderate parking in the Mosgiel area in particular vehicles blocking the footpaths as it was a safety concern for pedestrians. He requested that the Board give consideration to becoming members of Living Streets Aotearoa in order to obtain the "yellow footprints" which could be used as warning to motorists not to park on footpaths. Following discussion, it was agreed that Joy Davis would contact the Saddle Hill Community Board to see how successful this scheme had been in its area and provide an update at the Board's next meeting. |

The Group Manager, 3 Waters (Tom Dyer) provided an update matters of interest to the Board which included: · Mosgiel Stormwater Network Improvements. Mr Dyer advised that it was anticipated the construction of the new pump stations would begin during the upcoming summer and that regular updates would be provided to the Board and affected residents. · Mosgiel Water Supply. Mr Dyer provided an update which included estimated costs that would be associated with providing a local, non-fluoridated water supply to Mosgiel. He commented on the legalisation that was in its second reading at Parliament. The proposed legalisation would give individual District Health Boards the mandate to require that Councils within its area must fluoridate their water supplies. The Board indicated that it was happy for no further work to be undertaken to investigate the feasibility of a non-fluoridated local water supply for Mosgiel. · Hartstonge Avenue flooding by the under 5's playground. Mr Dyer advised that the maintenance to the swale would help mitigate this issue. |
