Overview and Scrutiny Management PDF 6 MB The following matter is reported to Scrutiny Co-ordination Committee, in accordance with paragraph 2.6.4 of the City Council’s Constitution, it being responsible for the overall co-ordination of the Overview and Scrutiny function and related responsibilities: Cabinet Member (Public Services) Item of Urgent Public Business Petition and Consultation Results Daventry Road Improvement Scheme The Cabinet Member (Public Services) considered the above report at her meeting on 10^th February, 2013. Councillor Clifford, the nominee of the Chair of Scrutiny Co-ordination Committee, attended the meeting and agreed that the decision was urgent and call-in should not apply. In accordance with paragraph 4.5.3.1 of the Council’s Constitution, the report is presented to Scrutiny Co-ordination Committee to inform them of the reason for urgency. The reason for urgency was that the works must be completed before 23^rd March, 2014 when Warwick Road is due to be closed for approximately 12 months in connection with the Friargate development. Quinton Road will be one of the routes vehicles will use to avoid Warwick Road while it is closed. Therefore having planned works taking place on this route while the closures are in place could cause major disruption and be against the public interest, as well as causing reputational damage to the City Council. Although the Daventry Road scheme was originally planned to be completed in plenty of time before this date, due to the design and consultation process taking longer than expected, and then the petition being received, there won’t be enough time to complete the scheme before 23^rd March should the decision be delayed by the call-in process.
