Issue - meetings

The Overview and Scrutiny Board Work Programme was considered by Members.

The following discussions were raised during this item:

• That an agenda containing too many substantive items could weaken effective scrutiny. The Chairman and Vice Chairman agreed to review future agendas and arrange additional meetings where necessary.
• It was noted that the timing of further consideration of the Car Parking Strategy would need to be reviewed following the decision to establish a task group.
• Members discussed whether the Local Heritage List update needed to return at the next meeting, given the previous agreement for quarterly reporting.  However, it was advised that this was in line with quarterly reporting.
• The heatwave and cooling hubs item had been deferred to November because relevant officers were unavailable due to training commitments. Members considered that the matter should remain on the programme.
• Fly tipping including discarded nitrous oxide canisters should be added to the work programme for future consideration.

RESOLVED that the Overview and Scrutiny Work Programme be noted as per the preamble above.
