Issue - meetings

To adopt an amended work programme for 2024/25.

Resolved:

1.    To include the following items on the programme:

·       'Climate and Nature Emergency Plan: Annual Report 2023/24' for the 23 January 2025 meeting.

·       'Public Toilets' for the 20 March 2025 meeting.

2.    To adopt a revised programme of work for 2024/25.

The report was presented by the Scrutiny Advisor.

Members were reminded that a revised Forward Programme for 2024/25 had been approved at the meeting of this Committee on 12 September 2024.

It was explained that the item 'New Local Development Plan – Strategic Options, Vision and Objectives' had slipped from this meeting to the 23 January 2025 meeting.  It was noted that the item 'Climate and Nature Emergency Plan: Annual Report 2023/24' had also been scheduled for this meeting, but a request had been received to re-schedule it for the January 2025 meeting.

It was reported that the item 'Public Toilets' had been scheduled for this meeting, but before the agenda was published a message was received to state that it would not be possible to present the report to this meeting.  It was explained that there was a need to scrutinise the item before presenting the Public Toilets Strategy to the Cabinet. The recommendation to schedule this item for the 20 March 2025 meeting was confirmed to ensure that there was an opportunity for scrutiny to add value prior to the Cabinet's consideration of the Strategy.
