(a)       That the Forward Work Programme, as amended, 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 latest Forward Work Programme for consideration where the following changes were agreed:

·         Report on the Climate Change Strategy to be added for February.

·         Member briefing on Flintshire’s Integrated Transport network to be rescheduled for early in 2022.

·         Report on the Council’s policy on the release of balloons and the environmental impact to be scheduled for a future meeting, as requested by Councillor David Evans.

·         Councillor Dennis Hutchinson to discuss separately with the Chief Officer (Planning, Environment & Economy) his requirements for a future report on the Standard landfill site.

Following discussion at the June meeting on enforcement of litter caused by alcohol consumption, the Facilitator read out advice from the Legal department clarifying that such legislative powers available to the Police under the Public Spaces Protection Order did not currently apply to Local Authorities.

The recommendations were moved and seconded by Councillors Dave Evans and Paul Shotton.

(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
