Forward plan

Forward Plan of Key and Non Key Decisions  (12/12/2014 to 20/05/2015)

description

FORWARD PLAN

 

This Plan sets out the key decisions which the Council expects to take. There is a requirement to publish 28 clear days of any intended key decision. 

 

Key decisions are decisions which are likely:

 

(a)          to result in the Council incurring expenditure or making savings which are significant having regard to the budget for the service concerned, or

 

(b)          to be significant in terms of its effects on communities living or working in an area comprising two or more wards of the Borough.

 

Other Decisions

 

This Forward Plan may also contain details of other matters likely to be considered by the Council’s Cabinet or Full Council which are not ‘key’ decisions.

 

Reports relevant to key decisions, and any listed background documents, may be viewed at the Civic Offices, Merrial Street, Newcastle?under?Lyme, Staffs, ST5 2AG six days before the decision is to be made.  Copies of, or extracts from, these documents may be obtained on the payment of a reasonable fee from the following address:

 

Democratic Services Manger,         

Civic Offices,

Merrial Street,

Newcastle-under-Lyme,

Staffordshire,

ST5 2AG.

 

Telephone:  01782 742222

 

However, it is not possible to make available for viewing or to supply copies of reports or documents the publication of which is restricted due to confidentiality of the information contained therein.

 

Unless otherwise stated, representations in respect of any proposed decision may be made in writing to the Head of Central Services at the Civic Offices, Merrial Street, Newcastle?under?Lyme, Staffordshire, ST5 2AG not later than two working days prior to the meeting at which the decision will be taken.

 

A decision notice for each key decision is published within 6 days of it having been made.  This is open for public inspection on the Council’s website and at the Civic Offices.

 

The law and the Council’s constitution provides for urgent key decisions to be made.  A decision notice will be published for these in exactly the same way.
