Report of the Chief Executive

Presented by the Infrastructure Portfolio Holder

The Planning Portfolio Holder presented the report.

It was moved by Councillor A Saffell, seconded by Councillor R Blunt and

RESOLVED THAT:

1)    The scrutiny/cabinet protocol be trialled for six months. 

2)    Subject to a successful trial, the protocol be taken forward to Council for        approval to form part of the constitution.

Reason for decision: To respond to Statutory Guidance on Overview and Scrutiny in Local and Combined Authorities and promote a good working relationship between Scrutiny and the Executive.  The protocol requires a commitment from Cabinet to perform its responsibilities under the protocol and therefore Cabinet is being asked to provide that commitment.
