Agenda item

6.1

The Committee received an amended report, circulated and published on the day prior to the meeting, containing the Committee’s Work Programme for consideration and discussion. The aim of the Work Programme is to show all known, substantive agenda items for forthcoming meetings of the Committee, to enable this Committee, other committees, officers, partners and the public to plan their work with and for the Committee. Changes since the Committee’s last meeting, including any new items, had been made in consultation with the Co-Chairs, Deputy Chair and Group Spokesperson, via their regular pre-meetings, and these were set out at the beginning of Appendix A of the report. It was highlighted that this is a live document which will be brought to each meeting of the Committee and Members’ input to it was invaluable.

Councillor Colin Ross noted that there had been a budget monitoring item on the agenda for December’s Policy Committee. Fiona Martinez explained that this item had been withdrawn on publication day and would likely come to January’s Policy Committee meeting.
