Agenda item - Chair's Communications

34.1    The Chair gave the following communication:

Welcome everyone to our last scheduled meeting of the People Overview & Scrutiny Committee of this municipal year. I’d like to thank members of the committee for your involvement over the last year. I hope that you have all found the committee as interesting as I have. I think that we have held the executive to account, asked important questions, and made good suggestions to them on a range of topics.

Our first item today is a further update on the transition to adulthood strategy. Since we last looked at this at our October meeting a lot of work has happened on the strategy. This will be presented by Cllr Jacob Allen and Director for Adult Social Services, Steve Hook. We are also joined by Fiona England of PACC and Sally Polanski of Amaze, who have worked with the council on the strategy and presented to us on the strategy in October.

Then we will be hearing from Cllr Daniels and the Head of Library Service, Ceris Howard, on changes to libraries and customer services. Cllr Pumm had agreed to bring this item to the committee before he sadly had to stand down. Cllr Daniels has only just had libraries added to her cabinet brief a few days ago. Cllr Allen will also be remaining with us for this item as services transformation falls within his brief.
