Minutes:

The Leader of the Council, Councillor Bettison, presented his report on the work of the Executive since that reported at the Council meeting on 16 January 2019. The Executive had met twice since the last Council meeting, on 12 March 2019 and 9 April 2019.

 

The Council noted the Executive decisions detailed in the report. The Leader highlighted the following matters which had been considered by the Executive:

·        The Bracknell Forest Public Health arrangement had been re-integrated to the pan-Berkshire arrangement, with a Shared Director of Public Health and a Consultant in Public Health who would lead within the Bracknell Forest management structure.

·        Integrated Continuing Health Care would be implemented across East Berkshire in a pilot for 2019/20, and Bracknell Forest would become trusted assessor. It was hoped that the system would establish a seamless service between services.  

·        Work to develop the Heathlands site had been challenged by volatile local market conditions. The Council was undertaking joint work with the CCG and Frimley Healthcare Foundation Trust on this matter.

·        The Planning and Transport Capital programmes had been agreed for Integrated Transport and Highways Maintenance.

·        The Building Maintenance report and service programme plan had been agreed.

 

Arising from a question from Councillor Mrs Temperton, Councillor D Birch commented that a business plan was being developed for Heathlands to be completed by October 2019. It was hoped that building would commence later in this year, or early in 2020.
