Notice Of Motions
16 Cllr Brown to move:

 

That this Council recognises the vital contribution that farming makes to our rural economy and that our local agriculture industry is in a state of crisis due to unprecedented low farmgate prices.

Mid Ulster Council therefore calls on the devolved government and the British Government to invest in local farmers by making additional funding available to help them deal with the current financial crisis and the uncertainties created by Brexit.

We appreciate the high nutritional value and traceability of our local farm produce and support the calls for an intense and co-ordinated period of product protection and promotion by processors, retailers and the food service industry.

That this Council will take a lead by pro-actively promoting and sourcing local farm produce where possible”.

17 Cllr Doris to move
This council acknowledges the important role landowners and TNI play to ensure our roads are safe to travel on. However on some occasions more can be done to prevent danger to the public. I therefore propose that this council writes to the Minister for Infrastructure requesting that inspections of dangerous trees along roads receive additional resources to prevent tragic incidents.
18 Cllr Wilson to move
That this Council writes to Steve Barnett, Assistant Director of Operations at the Royal British Legion (RBL), Johnny Mercer MP Minister for Defence People and Veterans  and the Minister for Veterans’ Affairs in the Cabinet Office expressing our disappointment at  the proposed closure of Bennet House, Portrush.  The council notes the integral support and respite this facility has provided to many residents from our district and calls upon the Ministers to engage with the RBL to ensure a sustainable solution is brought forward to retain this vital service.
19 Cllr Quinn to move

That this Council welcomes the announcement from the Infrastructure Minister that an additional £3m will be allocated to fixing street lights and filling potholes in our roads; notes the positive impact that fixing these problems will have on the lives of ratepayers; further notes the severe pressure on maintenance budgets; and agrees to write to the Minister for Finance to outline the need for additional resource to tackle these and other pressures that are vital for improving lives across our communities.
