Issue - meetings

The Cabinet Work Programme was presented for Members’ consideration.

It was highlighted that the next iteration of the Cabinet Work Programme would contain a short paragraph or description next to each item on that Work Programme to assist Members with understanding the context of the particular Cabinet report. This next iteration would be implemented in time for the next meeting of the Overview and Scrutiny Board in November.

A query was raised by Members with regards to access by District Councillors to minutes of the Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) – Bromsgrove Partnership. It was responded by the Interim Chief Executive that the request to access the minutes/notes of the LSP meetings would be made on behalf of the Overview and Scrutiny Board. However, as LSP was not a public body, it would be for the LSP Board to decide at its meeting whether to grant this request.

RESOLVED that:

1)    A request be made to the Bromsgrove Partnership (the Local Strategic Partnership for Bromsgrove District) that access to the minutes/notes from its meetings be granted to Bromsgrove District Council Councillors.

2)    The contents of the Cabinet Work Programme be noted.
