Report of the Interim Corporate Director of Resources and Treasurer to the Joint Committee.

The Joint Committee considered a report of the Corporate Director of Resources (Interim) which set out a suggested forward plan of meetings of the Joint Committee for the forthcoming year.

Councillor N Foster noted that traditionally one of the meetings of the Joint Committee would be held at Spennymoor and added it may also be advantageous for new Members for a visit to the Crematorium to be arranged.  The Chair noted that could be arranged.  Councillor M Stead noted it would be preferable to tie in with the next meeting of the Joint Committee.  The Chair noted options would be looked at and reported back to Members.  Councillor N Foster added that in the past that meetings and visits had been held later in the day, at 4.00 or 5.00pm to accommodate services.  The Bereavement Services Manager and Registrar noted meetings and visits after the last service of the day were more practical.

Resolved:

That the content of the report and forward plan of meetings be noted.
