Issue - meetings

Consideration was given to the report of the Corporate Director Regeneration and Community Services.

The Leader noted that the Place Scrutiny Committee recommended Option 1, and that tourism in Blaenau Gwent be further developed. The Leader asked if an explanation on the specific aspect on developing tourism had been provided.

The Cabinet Member – Place and Regeneration noted the substantive report and felt that a great deal of work was already being undertaken around tourism within the Borough and therefore proposed Option 2. The Cabinet Member – Place and Environment concurred that the report contained a great deal of information and felt that an explanation was needed on the reason why focus should be placed on tourism. The Cabinet Member – Place and Environment thereupon seconded Option 2.

RESOLVED accordingly.

The Leader suggested that in future Scrutiny Committees be asked to provide a more explanatory paragraph on recommendations put forward to Cabinet for Cabinet Members to be fully informed on specifics being recommended.

RESOLVED accordingly.

It was therefore

FURTHER RESOLVED, subject to the foregoing that the report be accepted and the information contained therein be noted (Option 2).

Councillor H. Trollope left the meeting at this juncture.
