Issue - meetings

(Chairman of the Select Committee) 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 J Lea asked if our housing associations where perhaps work was not being done, could be scrutinised? Councillor H Whitbread agreed that this was a good question, and there was the wider question to ask around housing associations. Councillor S Murray also agreed and that this should be undertaken by the Stronger Communities Select Committee.

Councillor M Sartin advised that it was for the select committees to look at their work programmes at the first meeting in the new municipal year.
