This report of the Area Asset Management Plan (Tanghall) Ad-hoc Scrutiny Committee presents their final recommendations.

Members considered a final draft report from the Area Asset Management Plan (Tanghall) Ad-hoc Scrutiny Committee.

The report highlighted the need to adopt a range of relevant research and consultation which would be appropriate to the particular area of any future asset management plan.  Also that residents, key stakeholders and ward committees be included as standard in all instances.

The Head of Property & Asset Management informed members that the first draft of the Tanghall Asset Management Plan was now ready and explained the next stages in the process to be followed i.e.

·              Priority circulation to the consultees involved in the scrutiny review. 

·              The wider circulation of the plan for consultation to ensure all other interest parties have an opportunity to comment. 

·              All comments received would then be used to inform a final draft of the plan to be presented to the Executive or relevant EMAP.

Members agreed not to view and comment on the plan at this stage, but rather to wait until the priority consultees responses were received so that both could be viewed together.

Members also agreed that their comments on the final draft report from the Area Asset Management Plan (Tanghall) Ad-hoc Scrutiny Committee and their comments on the Tanghall Asset Management Plan should be presented to the Executive at the same time as the Executive consider the final draft of the Plan.

RESOLVED:    That the final draft report from the Area Asset Management Plan (Tanghall) Ad-hoc Scrutiny Committee be referred to the Executive when it considers the draft of the plan and priority consultees comments.

REASON:         To ensure Members are fully informed concurrently on the plan and scrutiny review.

This report of the Area Asset Management Plan (Tanghall) Ad-hoc Scrutiny Committee presents their final recommendations.

Members considered the final report of the Tang Hall Asset Management Plan Ad-hoc Scrutiny Committee.  Members noted that the review had used Tang Hall as a pilot area for investigating the preparation of an Area Asset Management Plan.  As a result, some useful information had been gathered on the use of council owned land in the area which could inform any future Asset Management Plan produced for Tang Hall.  The final report provided a series of recommendations relating to the objectives of the review and Members were informed that the pilot Asset Management Plan was due to be reported on at the end of July 2007.

RESOLVED:       That consideration of the final report be deferred until the next meeting of SMC so that an update on the pilot Asset Management Plan could be received at the same time.
