Issue - meetings

The Committee was asked to consider the Committee’s Work Programme for the civic year. Members were asked to suggest possible items that would be of interest to the Committee.

The Committee discussed the subject of Libraries and the Libraries Strategy that had recently been to informal Cabinet. The Committee decided to conduct a mid-term fact finding meeting to gather information on Libraries from reports and officers. The Committee would then offer comments to Cabinet to aid their consideration. The Committee discussed the links between the Libraries strategy and other strategies that would need to be considered along side libraries.

RESOLVED:

(a)  That the work programme be noted with the agreed amendments.

(b)  That the Scrutiny Officer be requested to arrange an informal meeting on 15^th September 2011 to determine if the proposed libraries strategy is congruent with the information centre strategy and the contact centre strategy.
