Scrutiny
Considerations
The Committee received a report from the Accountant (Services). The
Officer referred to an addendum to the agenda report amending figures in
Appendix A.
Councillor Roberts referred to Appendix B P3/8 and asked for clarification
regarding PPF3430 Public Realm Enforcement Apprenticeship. The Executive
Councillor said the purpose of the PPF bid was to show the Council’s commitment
to apprenticeships. PPF3430 was a way to train someone how to support the
Enforcement Team. If finances allowed, there might be employment for the newly
qualified apprentice, but that is not guaranteed in the proposal. The Interim
Head of Services, Streets and Open Spaces added that the apprentice role was
part time, and aimed to help someone earn money whilst undertaking training.
The aim was to train one candidate over three years.
The Committee resolved by 4 votes to 0 to endorse the recommendations.
The Executive Councillor
approved the recommendations.
Conflicts of Interest Declared by the Executive Councillor (and any
Dispensations Granted)
No conflicts of interest
were declared by the Executive Councillor.
