Minutes:

            The Democratic Services Managerreminded the Committee that the Overview & Scrutiny Annual Report was presented annually.  This year more of the Council Plan Priorities had been highlighted in the Chairs’ comments.

 

            Councillor Mike Peers suggested that the title on page 65 “how call in works” be changed to “the call in process”.  The Committee supported this suggestion.

 

Councillor Patrick Heesom thanked the Democratic Services Manager and his team for the report but raised concerns around Cabinet meetings taking place in the mornings and Full Council in the afternoon as he felt there needed to be a greater gap between the Cabinet meetings and full council to enable call in to be facilitated.
