Issue - meetings

(a)       That the Forward Work Programme be updated and noted; and

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

In presenting the current Forward Work Programme for consideration, the Facilitator suggested the following changes which were agreed by the Committee:

·         Items on the Purchase of ex-council stock and the Deeside Plan to be deferred to the July meeting.

·         Affordable Housing Scheme - The Walks to be brought to the June meeting.

·         Following earlier discussion, the Rent Arrears Annual Report and Local Lettings Policy for Flint to be scheduled for a future meeting.

The Chairman thanked Councillor George Hardcastle for chairing the previous meeting in his absence and sought clarification on comments which had been made.  Councillor Gareth Roberts explained that he had voiced his dissatisfaction about historic work by Communities First in his ward but had also made the point that he was in no position to judge the work currently taking place.  Councillor Hardcastle expressed his disappointment about the incident and suggested that Councillor Roberts apologise to the officers who had been present at the time, to which he declined.

RESOLVED:

(a)       That the Forward Work Programme be updated and noted; and

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