On 15 January 2018, RCC
Full Council resolved to form a Task and Finish Group to look into
the future regeneration of Oakham Town. A link to the
discussion and debate that took place at that meeting can be found
at:
The membership of this
task and finish group will be considered by the Growth,
Infrastructure and Resources Scrutiny Panel on 15 February 2018, I
have provided a link to the agenda and reports to that meeting below:
Subject to the decision
of the Scrutiny Panel, it is proposed that the Task and Finish Group
will consist of 6 RCC Elected Members, plus 4 co-opted members from
stakeholder/community organisations. The group will be chaired
by an independent representative commissioned through the Local
Government Association.
Should the proposed
membership described above be approved by the Scrutiny Panel we will
be seeking a nomination for one representative from your organisation
to join the Oakham Town Task and Finish Group. We are writing
to you in advance of the Scrutiny Panel decision in order that you
have sufficient notice to make the necessary arrangements to put
forward a representative, in line with your own governance
arrangements.
Please note that
members nominated from stakeholder/community organisations will be
co-opted as members of the Task and Finish Group and must observe the
RCC Members Code of Conduct.
Subject to the approval
of the Growth, Infrastructure and Resources Scrutiny Panel on 15
February 2018, a formal letter will be sent to your organisation on
the 16 February 2018 inviting you to put forward your nominated
representative by 2 March 2018.
The proposed date for
the first preliminary scoping meeting for the group is 6 March
2018 at 6pm.
Should you have any
questions please email governance@rultand.gov.uk.
