Report of Assistant Director of Law and Governance

The Assistant Director Law and Governance submitted a report (previously circulated) requesting that consideration be given to this Scrutiny Committee’s work programme for the remainder of the Municipal Year 2018/19.

The work programme has been reviewed to link it to the outcomes and conditions in the Sustainable Community Strategy and each topic has been linked to performance indicators from the Performance Management Framework to provide accurate data for Members to use when considering topics and the work they wish to undertake.

The Lead Officer provided Members with an updated position in relation to individual items within the schedule.

Discussion ensued on the need for a Special meeting of Place Scrutiny Committee to give further consideration to the Darlington Borough Local Plan 2016 to 2036; the need for an update report on the pay and display charges for disabled badge holders; and the requirement of a further report on the Red Hall Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy to include a draft plan of the new Neighbourhood Centre.

RESOLVED – (a) That the current status of the Work Programme be noted.

(b) That the Work Programme be updated to reflect the decisions of this Scrutiny Committee.
