Issue - meetings

The Overview and Scrutiny Board Work Programme was considered by Members with the following points discussed:

• The Chairman raised and it was agreed by the Board that the Local Heritage Action List Quarterly Update would be moved from the June to the July meeting to free up some space on the work programme.
• A Member requested an update of progress for the Refuge Fleece Replacement.  It was agreed this would be provided to the Board.
• It was raised by a Member and agreed by the Board that the Bromsgrove District Plan item should be removed from the June meeting and an extraordinary meeting be set up to scrutinise in further detail.  Members did also discuss the need to ensure the meeting scheduled should be considered in line with the Strategic Planning Steering Group meetings also being held for Members.
• It was considered by a Member and agreed by the Board that shops closing on Bromsgrove High Street should be scrutinised as an item by the Board. – In response the Chairman advised that a seminar had been set up with a Representative from the Bromsgrove Traders who had provided a talk to Members.  After consideration of the seminar, Members had provided suggestions.  The Chairman suggested that a report should be provided to the Board to update Members on progress of the suggestions made. 

RESOLVED that the Overview and Scrutiny Work Programme be noted.
