Scrutiny Co-ordinating Committee at 10am led to a 2 hour meeting and an invite to attend the MKIP Task and Finish Group. This led on to 5pm. I then had to meet the Mayor, Cllr Richard Thick, discuss a few things and then discuss Political Affairs in the Conservative Group that started at 6.30pm. At the Group meeting we discussed the Local Plan. It was an energy charged meeting!
A 12 hour day by the end, so I was tired.
MKIP? Maidstone works with other Borough Councils like Swale to provide a shared service in certain functions. To ensure best practice and best value we have a group that examines the tasks and checks the results. Its not been easy, but we work at it, and it saves a lot of money, but we also need to check the quality of work.
Scrutiny Co-Ordinating? there are several OSC groups:Overview and Scrutiny Committees and I sit on 2 and act as a Sub on one. Their work is often inter-related, we do not want overlap and wasted time and energy or money, so we meet to co-ordinate.
A lot of correspondence the next day and then a break!
