Issue - meetings

To consider future topics for consideration by Overview and Scrutiny Committee.

Further to the review of the governance arrangements the report of the Chief Executive identified a number of issues and activity which could benefit from further consideration by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee.  In addition to the review topics identified in a canvass undertaken prior to the meeting, it was noted that the Chair had requested that each agenda of the committee include, as a standing item, an information report on the list of Non-Key Decisions taken by the Executive since the previous meeting of the committee.  The topics identified for review were:-

·        Planning Enforcement

·        Mandatory services and non-mandatory services

·        Revenue Estimates 2023/24

·        Capital Plan Review 2022/23

In addition to the proposed work programme for the Overview and Scrutiny Committee, details of issues to be considered by the three Scrutiny Select Committees were also provided.  During consideration of these topics Members requested that the Housing and Planning Scrutiny Select Committee be asked to include carports, garages and IGN 3 in its consideration of the Local Plan.  Additionally, Members felt that consideration of value for money in relation to the Leisure Trust should be dealt with at the Overview and Scrutiny Committee rather than a Select Committee.

RESOLVED:  That, subject to the addition of the Leisure Trust, the review items set out in section 1.2.8 to the report, be endorsed.
