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.

It also includes a review, as requested by the Committee at its last meeting, of those recommendations which have not been accepted by the Executive.

Recommendation

·         The Committee 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.

·         The Committee note the information in para 4.4-4.8 and annexe 2 about past recommendations and decline to make any follow-up recommendations related to them at this stage.

·         That the Committee change the status of recommendation S22-06-21-8.2 recorded in Part 1 of the Committee Work Programme, suggesting that the draft Biodiversity Policy and Action Plan be amended to “highlight which aspects of the policy and action plan reflect current practice and which are new”, be changed from “rejected” to “implemented”.

Consideration of this item was deferred to the next meeting due to the late hour and the Chairman closed the meeting.
