Issue - meetings

The Principal Democratic Services Officer introduced the work programme and supporting agenda item list that outlined the list of agenda items for future Committee Meetings, following the Chairman’s instruction that the work programme be reviewed by the Committee, to ensure that it was deliverable.

The document took account of the Water Management Cycle (Second Phase) having been paused, and the shift of the enforcement review’s commencement to the October 2023 meeting given the number of agenda items for the current meeting; it did not reflect the additional work required to support the Committee’s work, such as working group meetings and conversing with Officers and Stakeholders.

During the discussion, consideration was given to adding a review focused on the Council’s Integrated Transport Strategy. Overall, it was felt that the work programme was full, and that further resources and time would be required to support an additional review. It was felt that if the external stakeholders to the Water Management Cycle (Second Phase) Review would not confirm their participation in the review, then that item’s inclusion in the work programme could be reviewed and another review topic considered. 

RESOLVED: That

1.  The Committee Work Programme be noted; and

2.  The external stakeholders for the Water Management Cycle Review be contacted to confirm their participation, and that if they do not confirm their participation, the work programme be reviewed as necessary.

Note: Councillor Blackmore left the meeting at 8.23 p.m. after the conclusion of this item.

The Chairman stated that the Committee Work Programme would be reviewed in detail at the next meeting of the Committee.

RESOLVED: That the Committee Work Programme be noted.
