Minutes:

Consideration was given to a report which detailed the outcome of a work programme planning and prioritisation session which had taken place on 15 July 2016 involving members of the Improving Places Select Commission.

 

The four priority areas identified from the session were:

 

·         Town Centres in Rotherham

·         Transport

·         Emergency Planning

·         Dignity Cemetery and Crematorium services

 

Discussions concentrated on the four items, and reference was also made to the recently published HS2 proposals that would effect the southern part of the Borough.  

 

It was agreed that Emergency Planning would be prioritised for early consideration and that a task and finish group would be convened to undertake this work. It was also agreed that Town Centres and Rural Transport should be prioritised for attention following the completion of activity on emergency planning.

 

Resolved:-

 

That the work programme be approved and Emergency Planning, Town Centres and Transport be prioritised for review in the 2016/17 municipal year.
