Issue - meetings

To consider the report of the Interim Director of Resources, (copy enclosed).

The Council considered the report of the Interim Director of Resources reviewing the arrangements and venue for meetings of the South Eastern Area Planning Committee.

Meetings of the South Eastern Area Planning Committee currently took place at the Burnham-on-Crouch Town Council Offices and the report outlined a number of reasons why it was felt that the venue was no longer efficient or in line with current requirements.

It was noted that the South Eastern Area Planning Committee had considered this report at its meeting on 5 December 2016.  Following discussion the Committee recommended that the Council defer the matter until February 2017 to enable the Town Council to look at improving the facilitation of meetings at that venue.  It was generally felt by the Committee that use of the venue was beneficial to customers in that part of the District.

RESOLVED that the report concerning the venue of meetings for the South Eastern Area Planning Committee be deferred until February 2017 to enable Burnham-on-Crouch Town Council to look at improving the facilitation of meetings at that venue.
