Issue - items at meetings - Chair's Communications

56.1         The Chair provided the following Communications:

“As this is the final Environment & Sustainability Committee before the formation of the new combined Environment, Transport & Sustainability Committee, I would like to take this opportunity to thank members of the Committee and substitutes who have contributed to our work together.  We have taken a number of initiatives forward this year, not least the Local Biodiversity Action Plan and the promising Communal Recycling Scheme.

I do hope that there will not be a loss of focus on the areas of work we have been covering when the new committee has to tackle its enlarged agenda.  That said there are linkages between the areas of work that will hopefully benefit from closer association.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank officers for all their hard work and support too, and I propose we take a vote of thanks”.
