Authority
As a group, there is no delegated authority for making decisions, but it is recognised that this working group will form the recommendations that are brought to Council and Cabinet meetings, via an appropriate representative. In most decisions, it is anticipated recommendations will be taken forward on the recommendation of the group where delegated authority already rests with the Strategic Director for Places, in consultation with the Portfolio Holders.
How to raise a concern
You can report maintenance issues through FixMyStreet or MyAccount.
To raise a concern about non-maintenance issues - for example speeding or a lack of pedestrian or cycle infrastructure, contact either:
- your parish or town council
- the councillor for your ward
- your MP
- the Rutland Access Group
Stakeholders will look at the issue and decide whether to raise it with us.
Stakeholders should send us a minuted resolution highlighting the issue as a matter or concern for their community as supporting evidence.
If you'd like to submit a concern, email tstrategy@rutland.gov.uk for information on how to do this.
