Issue - meetings

The Chairman submitted a report setting out the future work programme for Community Scrutiny Committee for 2014/15.  She stated that the Executive Member for Health, Housing and Community Support had requested Community Scrutiny might consider reviewing the work of the Community Voluntary Services (CVS) for Broxbourne and East Herts in respect of the service and projects it had been funded for and provided for this Council.  The Chairman suggested that as the meeting in March 2015 was particularly heavy, that this be included on the Committee’s Work Programme for June 2015.  This was supported.

Councillor J Wyllie requested that Councillor P Phillips, Executive Member for Economic Development be invited to the next meeting of Community Scrutiny Committee to provide an update on the outcome of the Market Tendering process.  This was supported.

The Scrutiny Officer reminded Members that the first meeting of the new civic year would probably have newly elected Members as part of the Committee.  She stated that in order to help Members, there would be a training session on “Choice Based Lettings: how does the housing points system work?” held before Community Scrutiny Committee on 16 June 2015 as part of the much wider Induction Programme being held in May-July 2015 for new Members.

The Committee approved the report.

RESOLVED – that (A) the work programme, as amended, be approved; and

(B)   the Executive Member for Economic Development be invited to attend the next meeting of Community Scrutiny Committee to provide an update on the outcome of the Market tendering process.
