Joint report of the Head of Health & Leisure Services and Head of Operational & Street Scene Services

The Committee gave consideration to the report and appendices (at pages 67 - 68) as delivered and summarised by the Head of Law & Governance / Monitoring Officer which should be read together with these minutes as a composite document.

The Committee raised concerns regarding a number of projects that were not referenced in the report. Members deemed that it might be necessary to re-establish the Green of the Borough Working Group if no improvement to content was made.

The Committee acknowledged the importance of volunteers and suggested that the Council should focus on the development and recognition of volunteers. The Committee was advised that the Volunteer Policy was due to be reviewed and a recognition scheme could be included in the same. The suggestion of a ‘Volunteer of the Year’ award to be presented each year at the Council’s AGM was also made.

By affirmation of the meeting, it was

UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED THAT:

The contents of the report be noted by Members.
