Issue - meetings

(1)        Mr Kite asked that it be clarified that the follow up item on “looking at emerging evidence of possible efficiencies” from some of the new unitary authorities resulted from a discussion at the budget meeting where it was suggested that there might be efficiencies from some of the new unitary authorities.  It was intended that the evidence of any efficiencies be examined. 

(2)        The item be re-worded to read the following:

“Mr Kite asked that, following a claim made about emerging evidence of possible efficiencies from some of the new unitary authorities, Members review this evidence of possible efficiencies.” 

POST MEETING NOTE:  This was considered by the Scrutiny Board on 22 April, the Chairman of the Scrutiny Board referred to the way in which Districts were working together and that Maidstone Borough Council had an Informal Members Group considering different models of working for local authorities.  He offered to circulate the report being received by this Group to Members of the Board. It would then be for Members to decide if they wanted to take this matter forward.

(3)        RESOLVED: That the Cabinet Scrutiny Committee note the follow up items report.
