Minutes:

Members discussed the Overview and Scrutiny Work Programme. During the discussion it was noted that a scrutiny investigation request had been received from a member of the public regarding council policy on parking for blue badge holders. Members agreed that an initial presentation on this topic could be delivered by Officers at the next Board meeting.

 

With regards to the Overview and Scrutiny Board Work Programme, some Members argued that the Governance System Short Sharp Review should be prioritised at this point and the number of items on the Board’s Work Programme kept to a minimum before the conclusion of this Short Sharp Review. Councillor Hunter responded that all matters raised by Members should be added to the Work Programme as many of these were issues that Members encountered when speaking with residents.

 

Following the debate, it was agreed to add to the Work Programme the pre-scrutiny items selected from the Cabinet Work Programme as noted under the previous agenda item and the overview item on parking policy with regards to blue badge holders to the next meeting’s agenda. It was agreed that other items would not be added at this point to allow capacity for undertaking the Governance System Short Sharp Review.

 

RESOLVED that subject to the preamble above the Overview and Scrutiny Board Work Programme be noted.
