3. Outline Work Programme

3.1 The topics for the Work Programme are identified by the Chair, Vice-Chair, Political Group Spokespersons and Members, as advised by the relevant Overview and Scrutiny Officer.

3.2 With this being the first meeting of the Committee since the County Council Elections in May, I have prepared a draft Work Programme (appended to the report), based on some of the Items which have tended to be considered annually and matters that I know Members had previously indicated that they would like to be considered. I hope that this will give Members a basis to work from.

3.3 Whilst the Work Programme is owned by the Committee, it is important to be realistic as to how much can be considered at each meeting and to be mindful that the Directorate and (depending on the subject area) partners will need reasonable notice of matters that the Committee are seeking information on.

Confirm, comment, or add to the areas listed in the Work Programme Schedule
