AREA PLAN - for sign off
Minutes:
The Chair welcomed Joan Hancox to the meeting. Members discussed the area plan and the following points were made:
· Members were broadly happy with the priorities, and agreed that the focus should be on the actions and their definition.
· There were concerns over the senior level commitment to the plan, which was required for it to work.
· Joan Hancox advised that if members had issues about the quality of responses to targets on the plan that they could invite the officer responsible to an Area Committee meeting in order to provide a detailed response.
The Committee decided not to sign off the plan in its’ current form, and agreed that more specific, actionable feedback needed to be provided to the officers as to why there were reservations about the plan and what the Committee would want to see before it could be signed off. The Chair requested that comments be sent to him, and he would set up a meeting with Joan Hancox and the Director of Place and Sustainability with a view to presenting an updated plan to members in March.
