The Committee considered a report from the Chair which explained the process of developing a scrutiny work programme for the new municipal year. The Business Overview & Scrutiny Committee, in cooperation with the other three Overview & Scrutiny Committees, was responsible for proposing and delivering an annual work programme. This work programme should align with the corporate priorities of the Council, in particular the delivery of the Wirral Plan pledges which were within the remit of the Committee.

Resolved -

(1)  That the proposed Business Overview & Scrutiny Committee work programme for 2017/18, be approved.

(2)  That this Committee supports a proposal to convene a dedicated work programme planning session for the Chair, Vice-Chair and Party Spokespersons. The purpose of the session is to give further detailed consideration to the Committee’s work programme prior to the next scheduled Committee meeting in September.
