Issue - meetings

Following the motion to Council in relation to future preparedness of utility companies and subsequent agreement of the Scrutiny Commission to pursue the resolution of Council, National Grid’s DSO Strategic Engagement Officer will be in attendance to update members on their work.

To update members on the plans for actioning the motion to Council on 30 January.

Consideration was given to the scope of a review into preparedness of the utility companies for future growth. A member asked whether high speed broadband could be added to the list of areas to be considered, and it was agreed that it would be more appropriate to add this to the work programme as a separate issue.

RESOLVED – representatives of Cadent Gas, National Grid and Severn Trent Water be invited to a future meeting of the Scrutiny Commission.
