Minutes:

It was confirmed that the Work Programme would be updated to reflect the discussion in respect of the Cabinet Work Programme items and the Chairman also confirmed that there was no longer need for an additional meeting in respect of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund item. He explained that following discussion with officers, there would be significant flexibility around the use of these funds and the initial applications would only be for outline plans, with no great detail included. As these would be provided at a later date, there would be an opportunity for the Board to look at them in more detail at a future meeting. It was further confirmed that this item was a Cabinet decision and would not be considered at full Council.

In light of earlier discussions around enforcement, Councillor A. Kriss requested that an item be included which covered the effectiveness of enforcement across the Council, as he raised concerns that the officers were not able to get out and about across the wider district. It was envisaged that this would include such areas as litter picking, fly tipping and planning enforcement. This was an area which the Board had previously considered, and it was agreed that officers would check when the last report had been prepared and schedule in an update accordingly.

RESOLVED that subject to the pre-amble above the Overview & Scrutiny Board Work Programme be noted.
