21.  Motions
The following motions have been received in accordance with Procedure Rule 16: 21.1 Received from Mr PF Phillips: 1. Council supports the recommendations and concerns of the House of Lords Select Committee on Communications (29.3.10). 2. It asks Digital UK to extend its assistance to "disadvantaged" groups to residents of hilly rural areas who will have to buy additional equipment in order to receive DAB (and its successors). 3. Council further asks Digital UK to assess the impact (a) environmental; (b) on Waste Authorities' budgets - of the disposal of perhaps 100 million analogue radios. 4. Council regrets the omission by Digital UK of an Environmental Impact Assessment of moving to digital radios. Further information relating to the consideration of this matter by the House of Lords Select Committee on Communications has been sent to all Members electronically and a printed version is available for inspection in the Members' Library. 21.2 Received from Mr NJ Hartin: In recognition of the difficult financial position the Council is likely to be in over the next few years Council resolves to put in place an interactive 'Waste Minimisation' web blog where members of the public can nominate their own examples of waste or unnecessary spending within Council services. Portfolio holders will be responsible for considering issues raised & reporting back both to the Council & to the public on those suggestions received. In so doing this initiative will give a truer 'ground up' indication of the services people value and clearly demonstrate that the Council is listening to the public of Shropshire and acting on what it hears. Council would like everyone to take part in this initiative and welcomes comments from staff as well as interested members of the public. It further urges other public bodies providing services in Shropshire to adopt a similar open and transparent method of identifying waste and so help make savings which will have the minimum effect on the people of Shropshire. Note: The Councils Communications unit to be responsible for checking & moderating entries from the public to screen out libellous & other unsuitable material.
