(a) That the Forward Work Programme 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 Committee notes the progress made in completing the outstanding actions.

The Democratic Services Manager presented the current Forward Work Programme for consideration.  A meeting with the Chief Officer & Senior Management Team would take place over the summer and the Facilitator would liaise with the Chair and Vice-Chair to bring a fuller forward work programme to the committee at the meeting in September.

Councillor Rosetta Dolphin referred to the outstanding actions and raised concerns around the length of time it was taking for the Department of Works and Pensions (DWP) to a letter sent to them in February.  It was suggested that a letter be send to all local MPs in order for the issue to be raised with the Minister.

Councillor Dennis Hutchinson requested that an item on parking at Council properties be scheduled for a future meeting.

The recommendations, as outlined within the report, were moved by Councillor David Evans and seconded by Councillor Geoff Collett.

(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
