The Committee received the Officers report and addendum to the report. The addendum contained an additional item (RE15, Town Centre Tweaks – fully funded) to be added to appendix B at page 57 of the agenda.

 

RESOLVED

 

1.    That the findings and the recommendations to improve Area Committee and Residents’ Forum operations be noted;

 

2.    That the  proposed relationship with the Council’s Theme Committees, particularly the Environment Committee, and the implications for the Area Committees, including the need to coordinate with the deadlines for external funding cycles be noted;

 

3.    That the Committee notes and supports the proposals to delegate additional resources to Area Committees to meet need and resolve issues in their local areas, including a proportion of income from the Community Infrastructure Levy (if agreed by Policy & Resources Committee on 9 July 2015).

 

4.    That the list attached at Appendix B be approved, subject to the addition of RE15, as detailed in the addendum, as an accurate record of the outstanding historic issues raised as of 12 June 2015, and the estimated total cost of the works be noted;

 

5.    the draft guidance produced in response to the instruction from Environment Committee and attached at Appendix D, be noted;

7.    That the Committee refers issues RE9, RE20 and RE38 onto their work programme for consideration at their October meeting – as these have estimated costs of £25,000 or less – when additional resources from CIL may be available to fund them (subject to agreement by Policy & Resources Committee on 9 July to allocate a proportion of CIL to Area Committees).

 

8.    That the Committee follows the approach set out in this report (in paragraphs 1.18-1.28) when considering other issues on its agenda, as well as any issues which are referred on to the Committee from the July 2 Residents’ Forum.
