Issue - meetings

The Chair referred members to the work plan as circulated with the agenda. 

She highlighted the number of items scheduled for discussion at the next meeting (02 March 2011), this was a result of increased consideration of the forward plan and the addition of items from it, to the committee work plan.

The suggestion was that none of the items could be deferred and as such it was proposed that the meeting be scheduled to start at 5:30pm rather than 6:00pm.

Members agreed with this approach.  The start time of the meeting would be amended on the website and communicated to members as soon as possible. 

The Chair advised members that a meeting had been scheduled for the 14 March.  Herself and the Vice Chair would meet with relevant Officers and in consideration of the Corporate Strategy, draft the 2011-12 committee work plan.  This would then be considered by the committee at their meeting on the 11 May.

It was agreed that the Green Space Strategy would be scheduled on the work plan for the 11 May 2011 meeting.
