(a) That the Forward Work Programme be noted;

(b) That the Facilitator, in consultation with the Chair of the Committee, be authorised to vary the Forward Work Programme between meetings, as the need arises; and

(c) That the progress made in completing the outstanding actions be noted.

The Overview & Scrutiny Facilitator presented the current Forward Work Programme.  She referred to the items scheduled for the next meeting of the Committee to be held on 19 May 2021 and explained that the item on Community Asset Transfer which had been listed for consideration would be reported to the meeting of the Education, Youth and Culture Overview & Scrutiny Committee instead.  There were no further changes to the Forward Work Programme as reported at the last meeting.  She advised that work was in progress on the scheduling of meetings from September 2021 onwards and a draft diary would be submitted to the annual meeting of County Council on 11 May for approval.

                        The Facilitator referred to the action tracking report which was appended to the report.    She advised that the single action arising from the last meeting had been completed and an update on the Dynamic Resource Scheduler (DRS) System had been added to the Forward Work Programme as an item for future consideration by the Committee.  

Councillor Dennis Hutchinson suggested that the Committee received a report to provide details on the housing allocation process to Members.  Councillor Dave Hughes said he had requested a presentation on the SARTH policy and the allocations policy to update all Members and gave an assurance this would be provided.   The Housing and Prevention Service Manager agreed to provide a briefing session to the Committee prior to the start of a future meeting to give an overview on how the SARTH policy worked and further clarification on the allocations process.

The recommendations were moved and seconded by Councillors Ron Davies and Dennis Hutchinson
