Decision details

The Scrutiny Committee received a report of the Committee and Scrutiny Officer setting out a proposal for a new task group.  The suggestion had been submitted by the Head of Regeneration and Development requesting a task group was set up to review the first year’s recommendations contained in the Parking Strategy.  It was noted that the task group had to be completed to enable officers to present their report to Cabinet in September. 

All non-executive councillors had been informed about the proposed task group and invited to put their name forward if they were interested in taking part in the review.  Following the publication of the agenda, a further five councillors responded to emails from the Committee and Scrutiny Officer.  This resulted in an over-subscription to the proposed task group.  Following consideration by the Chair the following names were put forward for consideration by the scrutiny committee –

·             Councillor Sohail Bashir

·             Councillor Stephen Bolton

·             Councillor Anne Joynes

·             Councillor Glen Saffery

·             Councillor Derek Scudder

The Committee and Scrutiny Officer reiterated that meetings were generally open to the public and any councillor who was not a member of the task group would be welcome to attend.

RESOLVED –

1.      that a task group be established to review the Parking Strategy’s Year 1 recommendations.

2.      that the Parking Strategy (Year 1 recommendations) Task Group comprises the following membership –

·             Councillor Sohail Bashir
