The Committee considered a report from the Chair which explained the process of developing and managing the scrutiny work programme for the municipal year.

The report referred to current work programme items, including, pre-decision scrutiny of the Council’s Road Safety Plan and Budget Scrutiny, both of which were items on this agenda. A meeting of the Chairs of the four Overview and Scrutiny Committees had agreed to undertake further scrutiny of Universal Credit in February 2018 when the implications of implementing Universal Credit might be better known and the relevant data could be made available to Members.

The proposed agenda items for the March meeting, items awaiting scheduling and work programme activities outside the committee were also listed in an appendix to the report.

Resolved – That the report be noted.
