Issue - meetings

(a)       That the Forward Work Programme be noted; and

(b)       That the Democratic Services Manager, in consultation with the Committee Chair, be authorised to vary the Forward Work Programme between meetings, as the need arises.

The Democratic Services Manager presented the current Forward Work Programme and advised that the update on joint funded care packages could be moved to January depending on the items scheduled.

Councillor Alasdair Ibbotson asked for more detail on budget allocations in portfolios where there were little or no variances.  The Corporate Finance Manager highlighted the information contained in the appendix and agreed that further detail would be provided in the next budget monitoring report.  He also confirmed a further update report on the budget 2024/25 at the January meeting.

As requested by the Chair, a report on the review of industrial estates would be scheduled for a future meeting as agreed by County Council.

On that basis, the recommendations were moved and seconded by Councillors Bernie Attridge and Arnold Woolley.

RESOLVED:

(a)       That the Forward Work Programme be noted; and

(b)       That the Democratic Services Manager, in consultation with the Committee Chair, be authorised to vary the Forward Work Programme between meetings, as the need arises.
