EAST SUSSEX COUNTY COUNCIL’S FORWARD PLAN

 

The Leader of the County Council is required to publish a forward plan setting out matters which the Leader believes will be the subject of a key decision by the Cabinet, individual Cabinet member or officer in the period covered by the Plan (the subsequent four months). The Council’s Constitution states that a key decision is one that involves

 

(a)    expenditure which is, or the making of savings which are, significant having regard to the expenditure of the County Council’s budget, namely above £500,000 per annum; or

 

(b)    is significant in terms of its effects on communities living or working in an area comprising two or more electoral divisions.

 

As a matter of good practice, the Council's Forward Plan includes other items in addition to key decisions that are to be considered by the Cabinet/individual members. This additional information is provided to inform local residents of all matters to be considered, with the exception of issues which are dealt with under the urgency provisions.  Only key decisions to be taken by officers are included.

 

For each decision included on the Plan the following information is provided:

 

-          the name of the individual or body that is to make the decision and the date of the meeting or relevant time period for an officer decision

-          the title of the report and decision to be considered

-          groups that will be consulted prior to the decision being taken

-          a list of documents that will be considered when making the decision

-          the name and telephone number of the contact officer for each item.

 

The Plan is updated and published every month on the Council’s website two weeks before the start of the period to be covered.

 

Meetings of the Cabinet/individual members are open to the public (with the exception of discussion regarding reports which contain exempt/confidential information). Copies of agenda and reports for meetings are available on the website in advance of meetings. Key decisions taken by officers will not be taken at a meeting – documents listed can be made available on request to the contact officer, with the exception of those which contain exempt/confidential information.

 

For further details on the time of meetings and general information about the Plan please contact Stuart McKeown at County Hall, St Anne’s Crescent, Lewes, BN7 1UE, or telephone 01273 481583 or send an e-mail to stuart.mckeown@eastsussex.gov.uk.  For further detailed information regarding specific issues to be considered by the Cabinet, individual Member or officer please contact the named contact officer for the item concerned.
