The report provided the 2017/18 updated draft work programme for Members’ consideration and was attached as Appendix A of the report.

Members were reminded that the workplan was a timeline of the latest and proposed working position of the working groups and not the actual timeline of the subject matter or project being reviewed.  The timelines were subject to change depending on the work and outcomes of the working groups.   

The Committee was requested to consider the draft work programme at Appendix A of the report and agree any amendments. 

Cllr Mrs Pound MOVED and Cllr Reed SECONDED the recommendation in the report.

1. Cllr Tumbridge proposed that in relation to the Leisure Strategy item 5 in the timeline be amended to reflect that, rather that agreeing that a meeting take place in December 2017, it should be arranged once the Community, Health and Housing Committee had a draft report then it could be sent to the Working Group for scrutiny.

2. Regarding the Working Group reviewing Performance and Formal Complaints, Cllr Tumbridge requested that monitoring Council service and scrutinising and monitoring senior officers’ performance and how they ran their departments be specifically considered.

The Chair agreed to these proposals.

In relation to the Working Group scrutinising the Local Development Plan there was some discussion regarding the proposed dates of the Working Group meetings in relation to the timeline for submitting the Local Development Plan. 

3. Cllr Tumbridge proposed that notes from Working Group meetings be appended to the agenda for future Corporate Project Scrutiny Committee meetings and if further discussion was appropriate at the meetings this could take place as urgent business. The Chair agreed to this proposal.

Following the discussion a vote was taken on a show of hands and it was RESOLVED that:

The Committee considers the Corporate Projects Scrutiny updated work programme 20174/18 attached at Appendix A of the report and agree the amendments proposed by Cllr Tumbridge detailed at 1, 2 and 3 above.  

Reasons for recommendations

The Constitution required that the Corporate Projects Scrutiny Committee agreed its work programme at each meeting of the Committee.
