Minutes:

The Committee considered the Work Programme and Meeting Schedule 2018-19.

 

With regard to the Resident Engagement Review, Members highlighted the need to ensure that all resident groups were representative of the demographics of Stevenage. Whilst it was felt that there had been an improvement in diversity for some groups, Members believed there was further room for improvement. It was indicated that there was a risk of marginalising residents who are active in resident forums and that their time and contributions need to be valued. 

 

It was pointed out that there should be a focus on improving resident engagement and raising awareness of the various resident groups. Members also suggested ways of improving the resident survey including using a follow-up questionnaire to augment the original survey.

 

Members were informed that the Leisure Management contract was not due for renewal until 2023. It was indicated that a one-off meeting would focus on the outcomes and action taken in relation to the independent review that was undertaken in 2016/17.

 

Members indicated that the Community Centres review proposals would be brought to Members via a Policy Development meeting ahead of the matter being presented to the Executive.  

 

The Chair concluded the meeting by advising Members to consult residents on the review topics and bring practical cases for discussion during reviews.
