A report by the Chair of the Committee explained the process of developing and managing the Scrutiny Work Programme for the Municipal Year.  Members were advised that this Committee, in cooperation with the other three Overview and Scrutiny Committees, is responsible for proposing and delivering an annual Scrutiny Work Programme that should align with the corporate priorities of the Council, in particular the delivery of the Wirral Plan pledges.

The Chair’s report provided an update regarding progress made since the ordinary meeting of the Committee held on 30 January 2019, and the appended work programme had been made up of a combination of scrutiny reviews, workshops, standing items and requested Officer reports.  The Committee was reminded that further work would ensue in relation to the environmental protection policy as referenced in Minute 47 above, and this would be considered further in the Committee’s work programming session to be held at the start of the new Municipal Year. 

RESOLVED:

That the updated Environment Overview and Scrutiny Committee work programme for 2018/19, as amended, be approved.
