Issue - meetings

(Chairman of the Select Committees) Article 6 (Overview and Scrutiny) of the Constitution requires that the Chairmen of the Select Committees report to the meeting in regard to progress with the achievement of the current work programme for each Select Committee and on any recommendations for consideration by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee.

The current work programme for each Select Committee is attached as an appendix to this agenda.

Councillor Y Knight introduced the Stronger Communities Select Committee Work Programme for 2019/20 and reported that everything was currently on target. It was highlighted that the local District Police Commander would be attending the Select Committee’s meeting on 4 February 2020, and although there were some new items missing from the Work Programme before the Committee, the Select Committee’s focus would be on mental health and wellbeing issues within the District during the remainder of the municipal year.

Councillor P Bolton introduced the Stronger Council Select Committee Work Programme for 2019/20. The Select Committee had completed its review of Polling Places, Polling Districts and Polling Stations in the summer, which had been very timely given the recent announcement of a General Election on 12 December 2019. The Select Committee had also agreed to a workshop event to informally discuss the People Strategy, which would be open to all Members and was liable to take place in January 2020.

            Resolved:

(1)        That the Stronger Communities Select Committee Work Programme for 2019/20 be noted;

(2)        That the Stronger Council Select Committee Work Programme for 2019/20 be noted; and

(3)        That the Stronger Place Select Committee Work Programme for 2019/20 be noted.
