Plans to refurbish and refit the CCTV and Careline Control Room

The Committee noted the current position regarding plans to refurbish the Council’s CCTV and Careline Control Room within the Town Hall building.

Resolved - That the information report be noted.

Indices of Deprivation in Slough

The Committee noted the comprehensive information briefing report regarding the status of deprivation within Slough, as measured by the Indices of Deprivation 2010. The report compared Slough with other geographic areas and provided a comparison between areas of the Borough.

Whilst some Members found the report informative and presented in an analytical way, the concern was expressed that the report did not give any detail of what the Council was doing to improve matters and it was suggested that this should be addressed in a future report to be included in the main scrutiny agenda.

Resolved -  That the information report be noted and a further report be presented to a future meeting of the Committee for scrutiny.
