Decision:
To accept the information and ask the Head of Democracy
Services to use the results as a basis to establish the committees’ calendar
for 2023/24 in line with the guidance of the relevant statutory Guidance.
Minutes:
The Cabinet Member for Corporate Support, Councillor
Menna Jones, submitted a report on the results of the questionnaire sent to all
the councillors in October 2022, seeking their views on the timing of the
Council's meetings, satisfaction with the service from the Democracy Team and
communicating with councillors.
A member noted that moving Planning Committee meetings
to 10am would entail that site visits would have to be held on the previous
Friday, leading to additional unnecessary costs. In response, it was explained that the report
was for information on the results of the questionnaire, and further
consideration would have to be given to these results alongside the
practicality / implications of changing the time when proceeding to organising
the committees calendar for next year.
RESOLVED to accept the information and ask the Head of Democracy
Services to use the results as a basis to establish the committees
calendar for 2023/24 in line with the guidance of the relevant statutory
Guidance.
