Issue - meetings

The Panel will consider its Work Programme and Forward Plan of Key Decisions.

Contact: Jenny Bryce-Chan, Principal Governance Officer; Philip Todd, Democracy Officer

Cllr Crook advised that in terms of the work programme it was important not to overburden meetings if possible with too many agenda items. The aim will be to pre-triage, to maintain an oversight of some items and concentrate the Panel’s time on more critical items.

Panel members were asked to recommend which items they feel needed the most thorough scrutiny, to focus attention particularly as it is a busy work program, whilst recognising that some issues are time sensitive because they are on route to cabinet for a decision.

The Panel was informed that the Chair of Overview and Scrutiny has requested that this Panel maintain oversight of the recommendations from the ad hoc scrutiny panel, on building safety and combined action plan, to confirm that the recommendations made to cabinet have been acted upon.

The next meeting will be on the 10 October and will include the Economic Strategy and Skills post 16.

RESOLVED:

That the work programme and Forward Plan of Key Decisions be noted.
