Scrutiny Update - Summer/Autumn 2008
The Scrutiny Panel agreed its Work Programme for 2008/9 at its first meeting in the new municipal year in June 2008.
The work programme is varied and reflects the diverse areas covered by this Scrutiny Panel. Amongst the issues for consideration are Parks and Open Spaces – looking how these valuable and appreciated resources can help improve the health and well being of the population and the measures taken to ensure that people feel safe using parks. In May 2005, “New Libraries for Tameside” was published and set out a vision for the library service, outlining a number of recommendations for improvement. The Scrutiny Panel will consider how these recommendations have been implemented and see what the outcomes are, especially the measures to increase the use of public libraries. The Panel as the designated Crime and Disorder Committee for Scrutiny purposes will also consider the collection of data on alcohol related crime. The Panel will also be undertaking a follow up review on violent crime.
The Panel’s report on Support, Learning and Development for Elected Members in Tameside has been published and presented by the Chair to Council. The Executive Response is awaited. There will be a follow up review towards the end of the year.
Currently the Scrutiny Panel is considering how the Cultural Strategy can help deliver community cohesion in Tameside. The Scrutiny Panel has met with council staff responsible for the Cultural Strategy and will be meeting people from various communities in Tameside to obtain their views.
