The Cabinet Member Housing and Safety introduced the report and explained that Cabinet had considered a report from the Event Submissions Scrutiny Task Group at its meeting on 5 February 2013. At the time it noted the recommendations but agreed to come back to Cabinet to outline how they could be implemented since at that time it was very much work in progress. The Safety Advisory Group was in the process of being established and concern had been expressed about the volume of events which could potentially come through the process. The Cabinet Member stated that the process has subsequently proved to be manageable and members commended the efficient process now in force and the professional approach of officers conducting the work.
