Agenda item

Committee received the report of the Head of Corporate Strategy and Democratic Services regarding the improvements to the Members’ facilities in Port Talbot Civic Centre to date.  Details of planned improvements for the Members’ Room and the Political Group Rooms in Port Talbot Civic Centre and the rooms in the Civic Centre Neath were also noted.

Members were pleased with the work carried out to date, however concern was expressed at the problems being experienced by the Planning Committee and the problem accommodating the public who attend the meeting.  In addition the setting up of the room was sometimes an issue.

With regard to the Members’ rooms, the Committee suggested that in place of the current set up/furniture, workstations be provided for Members to include computer access and i pad charging stations. 

The Head of Corporate Strategy and Democratic Services agreed to look at what could be provided within the limited budget available.
