Decision details

The minutes of the meeting of the Joint Overview Board and Scrutiny Board held on 2nd December 2008 were submitted.  The Chairman invited Councillor P. M. McDonald, Chairman of the Joint Overview Board and Scrutiny Board to respond to any questions from Members on the recommendations contained within the minutes.  Following further discussions it was agreed that bid for £25,000 in 2009/10 to fund an improvement manager for 6 months would remain and that a rise in car parking charges, at approximately the rate of inflation, would not be included, as the car parks were currently not being fully utilised due to the current economic climate.
