Agenda item

The Committee considered a report on the work programme for the remainder of the municipal year.  The next meeting would scrutinise the revenue budget, capital programme and treasury management strategy.  It may be necessary to move the date from 17^th February and Members would be advised in due course if this was necessary.

The following was noted:

·  Nova House – to be scheduled for the meeting in March 2022.

·  Section 106 Update a report was suggested, although it was noted this issue had also been raised by the Audit & Corporate Governance Committee and Planning Committee and it may be more appropriate for those committees to be updated prior to any scrutiny.

·  Post-Covid recovery of primary care services – it was agreed to keep this in the work programme and schedule for a future meeting.

Other items in the work programme, such as the IT update and annual report on Slough Children First, would be brought to the appropriate meetings.  A suggestion was also made for scrutiny of the Section 114 Notice.  It was noted that detailed reports on the Council’s financial recovery were being put to each ordinary meeting of full Council.  Further consideration would therefore be required on the specific areas of additional scrutiny over and above the comprehensive reporting process in place to full Council.

Resolved –  That the Forward Work Programme be agreed, subject to the points noted above.
