Issue - meetings

To approve as a correct record the minutes of the meeting held on 17 January 2022.

The Committee considered the minutes of the previous meeting and requested the following changes:

Item 9) Statement of Accounts, page 9 to read:

·         The Committee asked to record its thanks to all those in the audit team and external audit team and congratulations to the work being carried out.

Councillor Mike Sewart noted that on page 6, item 53) update on the local ward budgets and ‘Top Up’ service pilot scheme the substantive issue was for the Highways and Transport Committee and they would be providing the outcome on the future of the scheme.

Councillor David Marren added that the Committee had been advised that a copy of the government criteria for the Highways funding had been promised to the Committee but to date had not been received.

Whilst he appreciated the substantive issue was for the Highway and Transport Committee, the amendment from Council did not mention a pilot scheme, the Chair agreed that it appeared that a decision had been implemented that had not been agreed and this was a matter that needed to be resolved.

RESOLVED:

That subject to the changes outlined above, the minutes be accepted as a correct and accurate record.
