RESOLVED · To agree on the Forward Work Plan. · To confirm that the Chair may amend the Plan to consider changes in work timetables, subject to bringing the Plan to a follow-up meeting of the Sub-committee to be agreed on. REASONS FOR THE DECISION The Forward Work Plan notes a calendar of meetings for the period until December 2025, and it complies with the Welsh Government's timetables as required, and with the meeting dates for the CJC. DISCUSSION Members were guided through the Sub-committee's Forward Work Plan, explaining that it outlined the items that would be presented to the Sub-committee over the next year. It was explained that this Forward Work Programme considered the need to receive the Sub-committee’s approval on several Reports while also taking into account possible changes to timetables. It was added that the Forward Work Plan had been drawn up with the timetable of the Welsh Government and the North Wales Corporate Joint Committee in mind. It was confirmed that this Forward Plan was not finalised, and additional meetings may be held to meet unpredictable needs. The possibility of holding Sub-committee meetings as hybrid meetings was considered.
RESOLVED To approve the Case for Change, including the Stakeholder Engagement Plan as part of the North Wales Regional Transport Plan, subject to recommending to the North Wales Corporate Joint Committee Board that they ask every appropriate Cabinet to look at the Regional Transport Plan in more detail and respond back after the consultation period. REASONS FOR THE DECISION As a result of the Local Government and Elections (Wales) Act 2021, the North Wales Corporate Joint Committee Regulations 2021 transfer the function of developing transport policies in respect of the area of each of its constituent councils on the CJC. The development and implementation of a Regional Transport Plan is a statutory function exercised by the CJC through its sub-committee, supported by the Guidance to Corporate Joint Committees on Regional Transport Plans (Version 2) 2023. The Case for Change including the Stakeholder Engagement Plan are a key part of the process to develop a Regional Transport Plan for the North Wales region. DISCUSSION Members were reminded that the Plan had been presented to the Sub-committee at the 1 October 2024 meeting. Gratitude was expressed for the close collaboration with Transport for Wales and ARUP to develop the documents. It was recommended that the North Wales Corporate Joint Committee ask all appropriate Cabinets to look at the Regional Transport Plan in more detail and respond back.

Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
