(a)       That the Forward Work Programme, as submitted, be approved, with progress on the whole Improvement Plan being added as a half-yearly item; and

(b)       That the Member Engagement Manager, in consultation with the Chair and Vice-Chair and officers, be authorised to vary the Forward Work Programme between meetings.

The Member Engagement Manager introduced the report to enable the Committee to consider the Forward Work Programme.  He agreed to incorporate the suggestion made by Councillor Richard Jones earlier in the meeting on the Improvement Plan.

Members discussed preparations for the next meeting where the Police & Crime Commissioner was scheduled to attend to consult on the Crime & Policing Plan for 2016/17.  The Chief Executive advised that he had asked Mr. Roddick to provide brief responses to the questions which had remained unanswered after the County Council meeting in July 2015.

The Committee agreed to the suggestion made by the Member Engagement Manager that he liaise with the Chairman and officers to schedule further items at future meetings.
