MATTERS FROM COUNCIL OR OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY COMMITTEES (IF ANY)

To consider any matters referred by the Council or by the Overview and Scrutiny Committees.

Minutes:

Councillor Acton, as Chair of the Scrutiny Committee, advised Members that in consequence of issues arising from the movement of members of the Traveller community into the borough in the summer of 2021, the Scrutiny Committee had established a Task and Finish group to review the Council’s approach and seek to identify steps to improve relationships. In his context an awareness training session had been held for Members, involving members of the Traveller community; this had been well attended by Members, and would inform the ongoing project. In response Councillor Hynes noted that she had herself attended the awareness session, which had been very informative.
