Issue - meetings

To approve as a correct record the minutes of the meeting held on 31^st January 2022.

103.1   Councillor Hilton referred to the narrative in the draft minutes at 98.7 and the statement that ‘Councillor Hilton referred to narrowboat events in the Docklands which previously took place on alternative years and asked whether there was a possibility that these events could take place yearly.’ He explained that at the previous meeting, he asked that given the Tall Ships Festival takes place biannually in Gloucester, whether a similar event could take place for narrowboats. It was agreed that this error would be corrected.

103.2   Councillor Ackroyd thanked the Chair for noticing that Bathurst Road and Gladstone Road were in Moreland rather than Podsmead and confirmed that she had made the same observation when reading the Gloucester City Monuments Review.

103.3   In response to a query from Councillor Durdey regarding the narrative at 99.1, the Democratic and Electoral Services Officer confirmed that the Head of Culture had provided clarification that the Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) work was undertaken internally and the Council’s paid digital media was outsourced externally following the meeting. It was agreed that the minutes would be amended to make this fact clearer.

RESOLVED - That the minutes of the meeting held on 31^st January 2022 be corrected with the above amendments for approval at the next Overview and Scrutiny Committee meeting on 28^th March 2022.
