Questions by Elected Members PDF 613 KB To consider any questions which may have been received from Elected Members and which are asked pursuant to Standing Order No. 11.
a) Councillor Osborne
“What actions have been taken to alleviate the risk of flooding in Darfield ward, especially in Low Valley?”
b) Councillor Kitching
“At the last Full Council meeting on November 25th 2021, this council resolved to undertake its own assessment into the financial implications of bus franchising, in order to establish whether their impact on the Council’s finances and on taxpayers is reasonable.
Could the Cabinet member please update us on the progress of this assessment so far?”
c) Councillor Osborne
“Following a recent spate of illegal flytipping of tyres in Darfield, waste tyres have been collected by council clean up teams. What happens to the tyres?”
d) Councillor Fielding
“Now that the developer of the allocated housing site adjacent to the M1 at Dodworth is proposing not to use the access point created by the Council demolishing 2 recently improved four bedroomed Council Houses in 2020 on South Road, Dodworth, can the Cabinet Member please detail the financial loss to the Council of this action? In particular can the cabinet member detail the costs of the following:
· The costs of rehousing the sitting tenants including the purchase of alternative accomodation · The costs of demolishing the 2 houses and making good the site afterwards. · The loss of rental income from the date that the tenants were evicted to present · The loss of Council Tax income from the date of eviction to present · The value of the loss of the assets of the 2 Council Houses”
e) Councillor Hunt
“At the Full Council meeting in July 2021, in response to my question, the Cabinet Support member confirmed that the Digital First project had created the capability of providing status updates to residents in relation to online requests. It was indicated that residents would start to receive these status updates by the end of last year. This timescale does not appear to have been met. Please can an update be provided?”
f) Councillor Hunt
“In 2020 the council purchased new speed indicator devices and radar boxes. Please provide the locations where the speed indicator devices have been deployed over the last 3 months.” Additional documents: Minutes: |

Membership of Overview and Scrutiny Committee PDF 93 KB Note: this motion was moved and seconded at the Council meeting on 25th November, 2021, and has stood adjourned without further discussion in accordance with standing order 41.
Proposer – Councillor Kitching
Seconder – Councillor Hunt
That this Council:
a) Notes section 9FA of the Local Government Act 2000 which clearly states that “members of the executive* cannot be members of a scrutiny committee”.
b) Also notes point 25 of the Government’s 2019 document “Overview and scrutiny: Statutory guidance for councils and combined authorities” which recommends that “Authorities should ensure that, ’as a minimum, members holding less formal executive* positions … do not sit on scrutinising committees looking at portfolios to which their roles relate.’”
c) Considers that the Authority should hold itself to a higher standard than the minimum, particularly in matters of scrutiny.
d) Feels that the presence of cabinet support members on the Overview and Scrutiny committee creates a potential conflict of interest, and therefore undermines the necessarily robust, open and transparent process of scrutiny within the authority.
Therefore, this Council resolves that:
i. Cabinet Support Members should not take up seats on the Overview & Scrutiny committee.
ii. Amend standing order point 25 (4) to: “Neither Cabinet Members nor Cabinet Support Members will be members of the Scrutiny Committee.”
iii. These changes will be implemented immediately.
