Issue - meetings

Committee is asked to approve its Work Programme, including identifying topics for scrutiny, that will help to achieve the Council’s key priorities and associated objectives.

The Committee considered the Scrutiny Suggestion request from Councillor B C Carr to look at a full and comprehensive review of the impact of the increased parking tariffs brought in across the Borough on 1 January 2024. Members felt that the request was already being undertaken as agreed at the Extraordinary Council meeting held on 23 May 2024. Members felt they didn’t want to duplicate any work already being considered and the request came to the Committee within six months of it already being discussed.

Members also requested that no further scrutiny suggestions should be brought to the Committee without the nominated person attending the meeting to present to the Committee.  

          RESOLVED that the Scrutiny Suggestion topic on parking tariffs not to be included on the Work Programme.

The Committee considered the work programme, and with the additional items to include a spotlight review on Housing Repairs in six months’ time and to receive updates from the Working Group on Equality, Inclusivity and Diversity at the Council approved accordingly.

RESOLVED that the work programme be approved.
