In light of the report Members discussed the following in summary:-

·           The role of the police and the difficulty of measuring public perception of safety.

·           The importance of securing a 5 year land supply in order to meet housing demand and the importance of correctly identifying housing need within the report.

In light of the discussion and the points raised Members were reassured that where responsibility lay with utility companies, any insurance claims were passed on accordingly.
