Community Engagement Performance Committee - 16 November
It is a pity this committee has such a weak agenda for what is an important area of work.
I am assuming this Committee still survives as at some stage it will be revamped as a Community Safety and Community Development Committee. It might then have the powers to scrutinise the Police perhaps with some added reps from the Police Consultative Committee on it, with that body acting as a more strategic body with the majority of local policing issues picked up by Safer Neighbourhood Panels and Area Committees. This is the sort of debate we should be having locally now.
It is good to see the SCVS is represented on the Committee. I made such a suggestion two years ago and I was pleased to see the Council take it up.
