FULL COUNCIL MEETING

COUNCIL CHAMBERS

WEDNESDAY 20 ^{TH APRIL 2005}

7.30PM

We have submitted and had accepted 3 questions (under standing order 21) for the Full Council Meeting next Wednesday and would appreciate support from anyone who is free to come along that evening.

Our 3 questions are: -

1. Why does Bexley Council feel that it is inappropriate for them to support a call for a postponement to the Thames Gateway Bridge Public Inquiry?

2. Can Bexley Council please explain their reasons (in some detail) for

withdrawing their support for the proposed Thames Gateway Bridge and now appearing at the Public Inquiry as objectors to the scheme?

3. Can Bexley Council please explain why Bexley's Director of Health, the Bexley Care Trust, Bexley's Health Partnership Board & Bexley's Health Scrutiny Committee have not been involved in any consultations with either Greenwich Council or Transport for London with regards to the detrimental health impacts on Bexley residents from the proposed Thames Gateway Bridge even though health concerns have been raised by

Members of the Council since July 2002?

After our questions have been answered we will each have an opportunity to put one further question forward to Council Members.
