Issue - meetings

The report dealt with the Committee’s business management including the proposed work plan for the 2022/23 municipal year.

In considering the proposed work plan, Members noted that the Local Authority’s existing contract for provision of IT services was due to end in December 2023, and a Gateway report outlining the procurement process would be presented to the Committee in Autumn 2022.  It was anticipated that a report on the Biggin Hill Airport Noise Action Plan would also be presented to the Committee in Autumn 2022.  In response to a query from a Member, the Assistant Director of Governance and Contracts advised that legislation on post-Brexit commissioning changes was currently being considered by Parliament and a report outlining the possible impact of this legislation on the Local Authority would be presented to the Committee in Summer 2022.

In discussion, Members agreed not to reconvene the Committee’s Housing and Capital Finance Task and Finish Group for the 2022/23 municipal year as any arising business in this area could be considered by the Committee.

RESOLVED: That the report be noted.
