10. NOTICE OF MOTION
a) To consider a Notice of Motion submitted by Councillor Brian
Dash and seconded by Councillor Alan Weeks:
"This Council recognises the significant contribution of Totton and the Waterside to the economy of Southern Hampshire, in particular through two power stations, a major refinery, its satellite industries, an Energy from Waste plant catering for a third of Hampshire's capacity, a Military Port, a hazardous waste disposal plant and a new marine industrial park.
The Waterside also contributes to the Hampshire ecology and wider environment including part of the New Forest National Park. It contains an internationally protected RAMSAR and SPA foreshore and Site of Special Scientific Interest as well as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation at Dibden Bay.
In the light of the development proposals for Dibden Bay included in the Port of Southampton's 2009 Master Plan, it is clear that stronger planning and environmental protection is needed for Dibden Bay and that National Park boundary should be reviewed to include the land at Dibden Bay.
Accordingly this Council calls upon the Secretary of State Hilary Benn, Huw Irranca-Davies and DEFRA and Natural England using powers under the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 to enact this change without further delay."
b) To consider a Notice of Motion submitted by Councillor Alan
Dowden and seconded by Councillor Dash:
"This Council welcomes the Department of Health's Social Care for Deafblind Children and Adults - LAC (DH) (2009) 6 circular. The implementation of this guidance will have a positive impact upon the support that deafblind people receive. The deafblind guidance expects this council to:
(1) identify, make contact with and keep a record of the
deafblind people within Hampshire
(2) ensure that assessments are carried out by properly trained
personnel
(3) ensure that appropriate services are provided for deafblind
people-remembering that individual services for people who
are deaf or who are blind may not be appropriate for
someone who is both deaf and blind
(4) ensure that they have access to fully trained, one- to- one
support workers if necessary
(5) provide information in a suitable format which is accessible
to deafblind people
(6) ensure that a senior manager is given responsibility for

This Council will implement the guidance without delay."
