Minutes:

The Chairman reminded Members that the meeting on 1st February 2011 would be to formally receive details of the Council’s Annual Budget in order for the Board’s comments to be fed through to the Cabinet.  Members agreed that the main questions would be the impact of the Comprehensive Spending Review on the budget, the effect of this on service delivery, the proposals in place, together with the risks and impact on the community and their perception of how it would affect them.

 

Members also asked for an update on the current position in respect of the Railway Station and what funding, if any, would be available for the project.

 

Officers also advised Members that, in respect of the Planning item, an informal Local Development Framework (LDF) Working Party had been arranged for 13th January 2011 at 6.00 p.m. in the Council Chamber, to which all Members had been invited.  If Members of the Board had further questions which they would like to put to the Head of Planning and Regeneration, or if they were unable to attend the LDF Working Party meeting, she would then be invited to a future Board meeting.
