Issue - meetings

The Cabinet Member Corporate Services introduced the health and safety quarterly report as circulated with the agenda.

He confirmed that there had recently been a serious incident where a vehicle had run into the back of a refuse truck.  The driver had managed to pull the operator out of the way just in time, had he not, the operator could have suffered severe, or even fatal injuries.

At the recent JCC members had discussed the budget outturn and financial climate, though this was before the announcement by central government and whilst the trade unions had concerns they understood the position the Council were in.

Various other matters were discussed including, change management, strategic commissioning and the Council’s approach to shared services, etc.  HR performance, various policies and organisational development were also covered.

Though invited, members of the Conservatives and PAB’s were unable to attend.

There were no questions or comments from members of the committee.
