18.    Notice of Motion proposed by Councillor McCaw, seconded by Councillor A Mulholland  

 ‘This Council notes the importance of Personal Independence Payments to sustaining and maintaining the lives of many across Northern Ireland; notes with concern the many issues associated with undergoing of assessments and the stress they can bring upon individuals; is concerned at the fall in figures of those receiving the benefit and the impact this is having on their lives; notes the link that exists between the drop in support provided and the "20m rule" for the highest rate of PIP mobility support as highlighted by "PIP - A Step Too Far" published by the MS Society; and will write to the Minister for Work and Pensions to urgently review the 20m rule and engage with key stakeholders to find a more appropriate alternative.’

19.    Notice of Motion proposed by Councillor Baird, seconded by Councillor McCandless

‘When a citizen’s beloved cat or dog goes missing this is a traumatic experience as pets form close bonds with owners and become part of the family.  Days, weeks and even years can be spent in often fruitless searches for the missing animal.

Happily many lost pets return safely home, sadly some are victims of road traffic accidents or meet an untimely end.  Council’s Dog Wardens carry chip reading equipment however staff who dispose of pet remains do not have this facility. We propose extending chip readers to the relevant staff and introducing a policy of notifying owners who have made the effort to ensure their pets are identifiable.

Adoption of this policy will help bring closure to many who lose their pet and the publicity around its introduction should encourage owners to invest in chip identification which is beneficial in all situations’.

20.  Notice of Motion proposed by Alderman Robinson, seconded by Councillor Fielding

'That this Council becomes a JAM card friendly organisation given the rising numbers of JAM cards users across Northern Ireland and in doing so helps those with a learning disability or communications barrieer to access our services discreetly and easily'
