The Democratic Services Manager presented the Forward Work Programme for consideration and explained that this item would discussed at the beginning of each meeting as agreed at the planning session which was held before the previous meeting.

Councillor Patrick Heesom asked as this was being discussed at the beginning of the meeting would there be an opportunity for it to be amended following any discussions that took place during the course of the meeting.  The Democratic Services Manager responded that it could.

It was agreed that he would provide this information to the Corporate Finance Manager in good time before the next meeting.  On the same issue, the Chief Executive agreed that the reporting model would include both County Towns and their catchment areas.
