Issue - meetings

(1)          Mr Hill and Ms Honey gave an update based on the list of topics that they had circulated with the papers for the meeting and answered questions from Members, which included :-

Turner Contemporary

(2)       In response to a question from Mr Birkett, Mr Hill confirmed that the partnership took the issue of parking for visitors to Turner Contemporary very seriously and that he and Ms Honey had met with the Leader and Chief Executive of Thanet District Council and had raised this matter.

Youth Services

(4)       As a result of questions from Mrs Rowbotham, officers undertook to provide her with a briefing note on the qualified youth worker vacancy at the Aylesham Youth Club, including access to application forms.

(5)       In relation to the HOUSE project, Ms Honey confirmed that the outcomes from this project were being evaluated. One of the factors to emerge so far was that the most popular day for young people to use it was Saturday.  The Youth Service would be reflecting on this and other findings from the project when they were available.  In response to questions, Ms Honey explained that if staff were required to work in a different way this would be subject to negotiation with the unions.

RESOLVED that the update be noted and a report be submitted to a future meeting on apprenticeships, including the strategy and action plan.
