DISCUSSION

The report was submitted noting that back in November the Joint Committee had approved a draft Plans Programme to be submitted to the Welsh Government. Those plans had been identified and prioritised by the region's Authorities.

Following the submission of the Plans Programme to the Government, it was expressed that comments had been received and a colour rating had been given to each. It had 37 green scores, 43 amber scores and 3 red scores. It was explained that further work had been carried out on plans to respond to the concerns highlighted by the Welsh Government, and they would be submitted again to the Government before the end of the month.

Gratitude was expressed for the report, and it was asked whether the Government had set a response deadline. It was noted in the response that no deadline had been set, but that it would fall prior to the pre-election period and letters would be sent to the Authorities at the start the next financial year.

More information was requested in the report in future as it was too high-level a report and the members and the public required more interpretation.
