64.1      The Committee considered a report of the Interim Executive Director for Finance & Resources, regarding Strategic Risk MAPs SR22 Modernising the Council and SR23 Developing an Investment Strategy to Refurbish and Develop the City’s major Asset of the Seafront. The Chief Executive, Risk Owner for SR22 attended to answer Members’ queries: the Assistant Chief Executive and Executive Director Environment, Development and Housing attended as joint Risk Owners for SR23. The Assistant Chief Executive added that there had recently been a scrutiny review on ‘The Seafront Infrastructure’ which had provided 15 recommendations. Those recommendations would be considered by the Policy & Resources Committee at their meeting on 22 January 2015.

64.2      Dr Horne asked which Committee would have oversight of the modernisation programme and was advised it would be the Policy & Resources Committee.

64.3      Councillor Smith asked whether a structural survey had been undertaken for the seafront common ways, and if it had what the likely costs of any repair work would be. The Assistant Chief Executive said surveys had been conducted on different sections of the seafront, but the cost of any repairs were not yet known. The Executive Director Environment Development & Housing said that the Council would be looking at the whole of the seafront and not just individual projects.

64.4      RESOLVED: That the Committee noted the report.
