Police and Crime Panel

Report of the Director of Transformation and Partnerships – Overview and

Scrutiny Officer, Transformation and Partnerships.

Minutes:

The Overview and Scrutiny Officer referred Members to the report setting out the main issues discussed at the last meeting of the Police and Crime Panel (for copy see file of minutes).

 

The Overview and Scrutiny Officer noted the main issues included:

 

·       Consultation on Council Tax Police Precept 2017-18

·       Road Safety

 

Members noted that the Road Safety presentation had some similar aspects to that received by committee, however, with the PCVC’s actions in terms of road safety.

 

 

 

Councillor J Armstrong noted some cross-over in terms of issues between the Safer and Stronger Communities Overview and Scrutiny Committee and the Police and Crime Panel (PCP). The Overview and Scrutiny Officer noted that there was also some cross-over with the PCP and the scrutiny community at Darlington Borough Council that is responsible for community safety matters. He also added that there is a document in place in terms of sharing information as regards PCP meetings back to respective scrutiny functions at both local authorities.

 

Councillor J Armstrong suggested it may be appropriate to invite the PCVC to a future meeting of the committee. Councillor C Wilson added that it was also important to feed information from the Safer and Stronger Communities Overview and Scrutiny Committee back through the AAPs. 

 

Resolved:

 

That the report be noted.
