Agenda item

The Director (Strategy & Support Services) asked how members wanted officers to bring forward progress and update reports regarding the Area Chapter in the Council Plan. She suggested updates on the Area Chapter should be added as a regular item on the Area North Forward Plan.

During a short discussion, it was agreed to add updates on the Area Chapter to the Forward Plan, initially on a bi-monthly basis, in order to monitor progress of the priorities, with possibly a formal report quarterly.

Members also suggested:

·         Having a workshop for members to prioritise work and projects

·         The Council Plan needs to be included in the training for new members

·         Updates should commence post elections in May

·         If the updates are to be bi-monthly they should be focused

The Director (Strategy & Support Services) agreed that each update could focus on a single theme in the Council Plan. She agreed to take back the ideas and suggestions raised, and work up a proposal for going forward.
