Agenda item

To receive a resolution from the Establishment Committee concerning the creation of sub-committees.

The Committee received a resolution from the Establishment Committee in relation to the creation of sub-committees and working parties and the associated impact on staff resource costs. It was noted that the Finance Committee had echoed these comments at its July meeting.

Following discussion, the Chairman advised that she would discuss the numbers of Sub-Committees and Working Parties of this Committee with the Town Clerk and the three Deputy Chairmen in the first instance and also encourage other Grand Committee Chairmen to consider arrangements in relation to their respective areas. The suggestion of utilising task and finish groups more often in future, rather than establishing new Working Parties and Sub-Committees, was also made.
