Issue - meetings

(a)       That the Forward Work Programme as submitted, be approved with amendments;

·         A report on how to present the information (and frequency) of the ‘equitable spend for towns’ approach (as per the notice of Motion to Council in December 2017) to be moved to the March or April meeting from February;

·         That an Appraisals update report be made to the April or May meetings.

(b)       That the Democratic Services Manager, in consultation with the Chairman, be authorised to vary the Forward Work Programme between meetings, should this be necessary.

In presenting the current Forward Work Programme for consideration, the Democratic Services Manager suggested that the item on the ‘equitable spend’ approach be deferred to either March or April, given the amount of preparation work required by the Finance team.

On the same issue, Councillor Heesom said that further discussion was needed to address inconsistency across areas of the county.

Following earlier discussion, an update on appraisals would be scheduled for April or May.
