Issue - meetings

To set out the Work Programme of the Policy Development Panel (report of the Assistant Director – Governance enclosed).

Consideration was given to the report of the Assistant Director – Governance (Monitoring Officer) which set out the Work Programme of the Policy Development Panel

Appendix 1 listed the schedule of meetings for 2025/26 with expected items populated against each meeting.

Appendix 2 outlined the task groups of the Panel

Members considered the report and made the following comments:

·         The longstanding Data Protection Task Group was not required and could be removed from Appendix 2; and

·         The Business frontage Task Group was discussed but it was agreed this would remain on the Appendix 2.

The Assistant Director – Communities and Housing Services added that as the SELCP Private Sector Housing Strategy had been presented within a suite of policies at the previous meeting, the Chairman had agreed, rather than the Panel receiving another report for noting on the matter, that any updates be added to the Policy register for consideration.

·         Members agreed with this approach.

The Democratic Services Officer requested that the additional meeting on 9 February 2026, arranged for the Waste Policies follow?up, be noted within the Work Programme and confirmed that the meeting would take place at 6pm in the Council Chamber.

AGREED:

That the work Programme of the Policy Development Panel be noted.
