Urgent Items
Minutes:
The Scrutiny & Elections Officer briefed Members on an email received by the Director of Executive, Customer Services, Communications, Governance and Partnerships. Derbyshire County Council (DCC) were consulting partners on the potential to create a Community Forest Proposal. Committee Members were asked if this was something they would like to look at in more detail at a separate meeting.
A Member queried whether any response produced would be circulated to Committee if Members were unable to attend. The Chair confirmed it would be.
A Member queried whether it would be classed as a decision-making meeting and the Scrutiny & Elections Officer confirmed it would not be, and that Members would meet informally to agree comments on the documents circulated.
A Member queried which area of Derbyshire the Forest proposal related to. The Scrutiny & Elections Officer noted that the District featured heavily within the proposed boundary.
A Member queried how the proposal related to the young persons’ wood created in the south of the county. The Chair noted that there was no direct reference to it.
Moved by Councillor Catherine Tite and seconded by Councillor Ashley Taylor
RESOLVED that a day and time be agreed in the Informal meeting today.
