Residents will recall that Cllr Andrea Reiner agreed to follow up on the status of the Parkside Kiosk planning application. Cllr Reiner wrote to planning officer Mary Marston a number of times regarding the status of the application. On 31 July Patsy Dell, head of planning, wrote to Cllr Reiner to say that Ms Marston had left City Council.

Patsy Dell confirmed that the kiosk application is still outstanding and that they have been in discussions with the County about this.

Patsy has asked the County to take an update report on the coach drop off facilities issues and options to the new Area Joint Transport Committee in September. She said the application will need to remain undetermined until then.

Cllr Reiner has asked that the application be sure to stay with the area committee, given the great interest in the temporary kiosk amongst local residents.
