Issue - meetings

Members are asked to note the current Work Plan for the municipal year.

Members to have the opportunity to discuss additional items to be investigated by the Scrutiny Committee and added to the Work Plan.

The Committee had before it a *proposed work plan for future meetings.

The Chairman indicated that the S106 Monitoring report had been delayed but would be available for the next meeting.  The work programme set out a timetable of work and he would very much like to keep to the timetable.  The Scrutiny Officer had developed a simple form which members could use to identify issues for discussion which would need to include clear outcomes

The following ideas were raised:

·         Air quality actions plans for the towns and how the funding connected through S106 agreements led to investment in the towns rather than for example cycle paths for rural areas.

·         A heritage policy and the need to reconcile the need for the conservation of listed buildings with increasing urgent climate goals.

·         The Housing Strategy and the formation of a Teckal Company as considered earlier in the meeting

·         Broadband issues

·         Anaerobic Digesters and the need for a joint scrutiny approach across several district councils, rather than each local authority working in isolation on this issue.
