Alan Kewley raised the following questions:-

(b)       What action would the Council be taking to re-establish some form of community-based meetings?

The Chair, as well as requesting that written responses be provided to Mr Kewley, stated that the Committee would be receiving a detailed report, twice a year, on the work of the Police and Crime Panel.  He added that he had attended several Neighbourhood Action Groups (NAG) and other similar meetings, which had not been well attended, and that there was a need to liaise with the public to find out what they would like to see in terms of public engagement.
