The Facilitator presented the current Forward Work Programme. 

She advised that an update on the Integrated Transport Plan and Climate Change would be scheduled on the agenda when appropriate and drew attention to the further items which were listed for consideration at future meetings.  The Facilitator asked Members to forward to her any suggestions for further items they wished to be included on the Programme.

Councillor Chris Dolphin requested that an item on Town Centre Markets be included on the FWP.  He also requested that the item on Planning and Enforcement which was scheduled for consideration by the Committee at a meeting to be held in November 2021 be brought forward as a matter of urgency.  It was agreed that the Chief Officer (Planning, Environment & Economy) would discuss the scope and purpose of the item with Councillor Dolphin and any concerns following the meeting.

The Facilitator referred to the actions from previous meetings which had been completed and asked the Chief Officer (Streetscene & Transportation) to provide an update on weekend missed collections.  The Chief Officer said an email would be sent to update all Members on the contact details. 

Councillor Dennis Hutchinson commended the Chief Officer and his team on service provision which he said overall had been excellent.

Councillor Chris Bithell asked for an update on the Aggregates Levy Fund.  The Facilitator advised that no response had been received yet to the letter sent to the Welsh Government on behalf of the Committee to seek reinstatement of the Fund.
