Cabinet Member for Localism, Sport, Culture and Heritage

Cabinet considered the report of the Head of Economic and Cultural Services and the above Cabinet Member. In introducing the report, the Cabinet Member noted the dates of the Local Engagement Forums and asked that consideration be given when the timetable of meetings was prepared for more timely reporting of the LEF updates to Cabinet.

There was some discussion regarding the level of attendance by the public at the LEF meetings, and it was noted that this varied across the Borough but the purpose of LEF’s to engage with the public was worthwhile.

The Cabinet Member for Localism, Sport, Culture and Heritage suggested that the agenda items dictated the level of attendance but the purpose should not be lost. The Chairman drew attention to the review being undertaken by the Policy Development and Review Committee.

RESOLVED:

That the report be noted.
