Issue - meetings

The Services Overview & Scrutiny Committee is responsible for managing the Committee’s work programme.

The current work programme (attached) includes items agreed and takes account of items identified on the latest Executive Forward Programme (Annexe 2) as due to come forward for decision.

Recommendation

Members are invited to consider their work programme and make any comments and/or amendments they consider necessary, including suggestions for any additional topics that the Committee may wish to add to its work programme.

Mark Mills updated the committee on the following:

·         The comments and recommendations on the Green Spaces are being integrated into the report by officers.

·         The Local Enforcement Planning Action Plan was scheduled to be considered by the committee in November.

·         The ASB update would now come to the committee in Summer 2023 as the Public Protection Space had only just come into force.

Cllr Seaborne advised that the comments of the Committee on the Biodiversity Action Plan had not been represented correctly to the Executive.  The Chairman and Vice Chairman had been unavailable to attend Executive and he asked if a substitute member of the committee could attend in future.

Action: Executive to be asked if they would be happy for a substitute member of the committee could attend in future if the Chairman and Vice Chairman were unavailable.
