Decision:

(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 Committee notes the progress made in completing the outstanding.

Minutes:

            In presenting the current Forward Work Programme report the Overview and Scrutiny Facilitator outlined the items scheduled for the September and October meetings.  She also reported on the ongoing items on the Action Tracking report and highlighted those which were completed.

 

            The Chair referred to an email he had sent to committee members asking for suggestions for inclusion on the Forward Work Programme.  As a substantial number of suggestions had been received these had been circulated to the Chief Officers for consideration.  He asked if members were happy with providing time for the officers to report back to committee in September on how these would be best dealt with.

            Councillor Mike Peers suggested that including timescales for each item would be very useful.  A detailed discussion followed on the items on the Forward Work Programme with Councillor Peers saying that some of the timescales were outside officer control.  The Chief Officer (Planning Environment & Economy) said that it was important that the Forward Work Programme was put in place in September and that he would bear in mind the comments made by Councillor Peers regarding timescales.

            The recommendations as set out in the report, were moved and seconded by Councillors Mike Allport and Mike Peers
