Agenda item

The Area Council Manager introduced the item, which had been deferred from the previous meeting.

The report made reference to the Ward Alliance reviews which had recently taken place.  The reviews had highlighted the need for increased communication between the Ward Alliance and Area Council.  The meeting discussed a number of options on how to improve this, taking into consideration that the Area Council meeting was held in public, but that the Ward Alliance was held in private.

RESOLVED:-

i) that each Ward Alliance is invited to give an annual presentation to the Area Council;

ii) that the Area Council chair attends a meeting of each of the Ward Alliances each quarter to provide feedback from the Area Council.
