Agenda item

Members received an overview of the programme of improvement work carried out to Member facilities, in the Council Chamber and Committee Rooms in the Port Talbot Civic Centre, which had not been updated since 1996.  The improvements, which included the renewal of the sound system in the Council Chamber and its installation in the Committee Rooms, would facilitate the use of the rooms for Members, Officers and Members of the public.  Screens had also been installed.

Improved Wi-Fi access had also been installed by way of additional hot spots, which would support the work currently underway in introducing the Modern.Gov software, as referred to above.

Member noted that additional work would be carried out, such as vertical blinds and chair replacement, all of which had not been updated since at least 1996.

Members expressed concern at the lighting in the Council Chamber and were advised that this would also be addressed as part of the improvement work.

RESOLVED:         that the report in relation to Members’ Facilities, be noted.
