Report of the Town Clerk.

The Board received a report of the Town Clerk on the Crime and Disorder Scrutiny Committee Terms of Reference and Constitution.

The Board commented that this Committee would be a useful body for discussions across various areas across the Corporation and to effectively scrutinising the work of the Safer City Partnership. It was agreed that the Committee needed to meet on a quarterly to properly discharge its scrutiny role.

In response to a Member’s question it was explained that the format of the Committee’s scrutiny was mandated by the relevant legislation but that the methodology would likely be established over time as the Committee begins to meet regularly.

RESOLVED- That the report be noted.
