Question to the Cabinet Member for Equalities and Assets : 2019/12 - Adoption of phone box in Caerleon to accommodate defibrillator donated by Caerleon Group

Minutes:

Councillor J. Watkins asked:

 

Having so far received no answer to the following two questions I am asking them again on a formal basis.

 

Please quantify the cost to the Council of insuring this single phone box should the Authority agree to adopt it?

 

Why did you ignore my request to meet with yourself and a member of the group wishing to donate this defibrillator given this initiative was a health benefit to the community and the group were asking for an opportunity to present their case?

 

 

Councillor Whitcutt responded:

 

Through previous communications I have outlined the Council’s position. The Council would not insure a single phone box, therefore the liability for maintenance, security and repairs would be the responsibility of the service area in the Council, which we are not in a position to support.

 

Unfortunately, I do not believe that a face to face meeting will have any impact on this decision. As previously stated we would be happy to pan alternative site that the Council currently supports (Community Centre).
