Public invited to air views on Action Plan - 16/10/06

 

Members of the public have an opportunity to attend a meeting which is to consider an action plan prepared by the Director of Community Services to address the current budget overspends within the Vale of Glamorgan Council’s Social Services Directorate.

 

The meeting of the Scrutiny Committee (Community Wellbeing and Safety) will be held at the Memorial Hall, Barry, at 6pm on Monday, October 23, and will also be attended by representatives of local health and voluntary sector organisations and other stakeholder groups.

 

Encouraging members of the public to attend and offer their views, Committee Chairman Cllr Janice Birch said: "One of the most important roles of Scrutiny is to listen to the views of the public, the community and organisations and to take account of their views in any subsequent deliberations and, where approriate, to pass those views on.

 

"The action plan has been referred by the Cabinet to the Scrutiny Committee for consideration as it impacts on individuals who are the most vulnerable and groups who represent vulnerable members of our community. We are anxious to hear from as many people as possible before formulating our response to the Cabinet."
