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.
