Issue - meetings

a) Panel work programme for municipal year 2012/13

b) Future meetings of the Environment & Housing Scrutiny Panel

c) Evidence gathering sessions

The Chair highlighted the main issues that the E & H SP would be considering during it’s work in the year ahead.  These included:

§         The roll out of the new waste and recycling contract

§         Strategic review of parking (CPZ) in North Tottenham in relation to THFC

§         Community engagement within the regulatory process e.g. planning & licensing

§         Strategic enforcement (integration of enforcement functions across the Council)

The panel requested that it be noted, that there was an unacceptable time gap between when the new structure for scrutiny was agreed by Council (May 2012) and the first meeting cycle of scrutiny panels (September 2012).  It was hoped that there would be a reduced delay in the next municipal cycle.
