1. Remit of the Committee
The remit of the Area Constituency Committees is detailed in Appendix 1.
2. Work Programme Items
The intention is for the Committee to develop a work programme that:
· is owned by the Committee
· has items on it that are important locally but relevant at a strategic, county level
· evolves over time and is not static.
The Committee Chairman, Vice-Chairman and the Democratic Services Officer will keep the work programme up to date and determine which items need to be considered at a public committee meeting and which could be picked up elsewhere.
Alternative ways of dealing with issues that come to the Committee could include:
· Member visit to Bilton Treatment Works – Awaiting confirmation from Yorkshire Water
· Yorkshire Water be invited to attend a meeting of the Committee once a year – There have been requests from a number of Area Constituency Committees and these are to be coordinated. A written update from Yorkshire Water will be circulated
· The Environment Agency/Defra be invited to attend a meeting of the Committee to consider water quality in the river Nidd - A response will be progressed when received
The following informal session are proposed:
· Playing Pitch Strategy
· The £50k seed funding for each ACC
· Report back on interim results of the Let’s Talk Transport survey
· Q&A session on next steps on the Climate strategy
The Committee’s work programme is at Appendix 2.
Recommendation Members are asked to consider, amend and add to the Committee’s work programme.
