The Chair introduced his report advising that this Committee, in co-operation with the other three Overview and Scrutiny Committees, was responsible for proposing and delivering an annual scrutiny work programme. The 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.

The Chair’s report provided an update regarding progress made since the Committee meeting held on 31 January 2018, and the current work programme made up of a combination of scrutiny reviews, workshops, standing items and requested Officer reports was appended.  It was noted that the work programme would require amendment pursuant to decisions taken at this meeting of the Committee.

RESOLVED -

That the updated Environment Overview and Scrutiny Committee work programme 2017/18, as submitted and to be amended as agreed previously at this meeting, be approved.
