Issue - meetings

The Chairman submitted a report seeking agreement to the draft work programme for 2016/17 detailed within Essential Reference Paper ‘B’.  The Scrutiny Officer explained that there were gaps in the programme which needed to be filled and that the only requirement was that by the end of the civic year, Members were statutorily obliged  to consider a Crime and Disorder report.  She explained that a topic had yet to be identified but that a new Head of Service might have some thoughts on this.

Councillor P Ruffles suggested that a possible topic might be crimes against young people such as cyber-crime and other types of crimes affecting the young.  This was supported and the topic added to the programme for further consideration.

Members received the report, as now amended.

RESOLVED – that the work programme as now amended, be approved.
