Issue - meetings

The Board considered the Work Programme for 2010/11.  The Board were informed that a Steering Group had been set up following completion of the Community Involvement in the Democratic Process Task Group and it was agreed that a member of that Task Group should be involved in the Steering Group to ensure that the recommendations put forward were carried through.

After discussion Members agreed that the item on the Licensing Policy would now be considered as a separate item and that the Head of Services should be asked to provide an introductory report and presentation for consideration by the Board.  Officers agreed to timetable this in to the Work Programme.
