Verbal update by Martin Caldwell and Councillor Jim Lynch

Martin Caldwell, Chair of the Public Consultation Review Panel provided a short update in relation to the progress made since the review commenced.  He advised of the work carried out in order to identify the six themes that underpin the review and outlined a number of questions which have aided in the identification of gaps and areas for improvement within the current system.  Mr Caldwell advised that a draft report was currently being prepared and that he hoped to be in a position to provide the final report at the next meeting. 

Councillor Jim Lynch, Chair of the Fly Tipping Review Panel provided a short update in relation to the progress made since the last meeting.  Having previously advised of the difficulties in defining fly tipping and in particular to the issues that have presented in seeking information to allow for a fair review to be conducted, Councillor Lynch advised of the steps being taken to sort the disconnect to allow for the review to re-commence in the summer.
