Issue - meetings

Members considered the Overview and Scrutiny Work Programme and noted that the update on flood prevention work in the district, which had been due to take place during the meeting, had been postponed.  Officers had suggested this delay was due to a number of Worcestershire County Council budgetary cuts potentially impacting on the service causing imminent changes to strategic service arrangements.  As a consequence it had been suggested that an update be provided for the Board’s consideration in February on flood prevention projects that the team were delivering to be followed by a further report focusing on the strategic level in June 2014.

Councillor B. T. Cooper, the Council’s representative on the Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee (HOSC), confirmed that there had been no meetings of the Committee over the festive period.  The following meeting was due to take place on 22^nd January 2014.
