Risk assessment There may not be an audience for Overview & Scrutiny due to deep-seated indifference to local governance, the resources open to Overview & Scrutiny may not be sufficient to off-set this. Longer term objectives wider than LBH O&S function may be required. Community Partnerships & Economic Development OSC report – 18.10.05 Page 26 PART 1 – MEMBERS, PUBLIC & PRESS
BEACON COUNCIL SCHEME: ROUND EIGHT ITEM 4 REASON FOR REPORT Contact Officer: Maureen Colledge Telephone: 01895 277 488 The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister announced themes for Round Eight of the Beacon Councils Scheme in September 2005. The Committee might wish to note that one of themes relates to overview and scrutiny: “Neighbourhood and Community Champions: The Role of Elected Members”. The report of the Beacons Advisory Panel, available from IDeA , says: “This theme would respond to suggestions made by a number of organisations during the previous consultation exercise that Local Authorities are keen to seek out examples of effective neighbourhood and community leadership. It would profile examples of innovative methods of supporting elected members to play a pivotal role within their neighbourhoods and within community planning processes. Such a theme … would emphasise the crucial role that elected members play, not only in setting priorities and improving local authority services, but also in liaising with and influencing other public, private and voluntary organisations for the benefit of the community, be this through Local Strategic Partnerships or innovative scrutiny arrangements.” The application process for Round Eight will be launched in Spring 2006. OPTIONS OPEN TO THE COMMITTEE 1. To note at this stage. 2. To consider next Spring whether the Committee’s work and major reviews this year might form the basis for a bid.
