Issue - meetings

To receive the report of the Scrutiny Programme Board.

Councillor Matthew Williams presented the report of the Scrutiny Programme Board making the following points:

• the report was now in line with the municipal year which explained why two had been presented close together;
• there was a new format for which he thanked officers for improvements which meant that the report went beyond a list of issues which had been considered and began to look at the impact of scrutiny; and
• the Scrutiny Programme Board would look to make further improvements.

During discussion Members asked questions and made the following points:

·         had the suggestion to offer family membership been progressed?

·         it appeared that nothing had happened with regard to active travel for those with a disability; and

·         Transport Member Working Group minutes had not been received and were requested.

Councillor Williams moved the recommendations as set out in the report, seconded by Councillor K Mitchell which following a vote were CARRIED.
