2 Introduction to Hounslow s Forward Plan of Key Decisions The London Borough of Hounslow is committed to open government. It is encouraging local people to have their say on the decisions that affect them, their families and community as a whole. The council recognises that it is therefore important to provide as much information about these decisions as possible. The Government has guided local authorities to this through the Forward Plan. What is the Forward Plan? The Forward Plan is a document that sets out information about key decisions that the council will make at the next cabinet meeting a clear 28 days in advance of the decision. By law, councils must publish these in a monthly Forward Plan. This also provides the public with the opportunity to have their say on these decisions before they are taken. What is a key decision? London Borough of Hounslow s definition for a key decision is that: (a) (b) The Government has asked councils to define which financial decisions are significant and, therefore key. Hounslow s definition is spending or savings of 250,000 or more that is not in the council s budget (the setting of the budget is itself a key decision ). In line with Government guidance key will also be defined if it is likely to have a significant impact on the community. What information is included in the Forward Plan? In relation to each key decision, the Forward Plan includes as much of the following information as is available when it is published. The table is explained as follows: Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4 Column 5 Column 6 Column 7 Column 8 sets out the reference number of the report sets out the title or subject matter of the report sets out the Officer and Lead Cabinet Member contact details sets out what the decision making body/individual are being asked to decide specifies which documents will be made available to the decision maker states the bodies, which are being or have been consulted states the reference number which exempt information will fall under specifies which body or individual are making the decision and the estimated date when the decision will be taken The Forward Plan lists the other decision making bodies key decisions to be taken by the Cabinet (or by Cabinet Members using powers delegated to them by the Cabinet). It has also been decided that the Forward Plan will include other decisions to be taken by the council (although standard agenda items such as petitions, motions, council questions, appointments to committees, etc. will not be listed.) Copies of documents Copies of documents referred to in the Forward Plan can be obtained by ing thomas.ribbits@hounslow.gov.uk. You should quote the reference number of the report and the report title as it appears on the Forward Plan when making a request. Please note that prior to the decision being made, it is possible that other documents to those listed in the Forward Plan may be submitted to the decision maker for consideration. If that is the case the procedure for obtaining copies of these other documents, if any, is the same as set out above although you should make it clear that you are requesting any other documents that have been submitted, if any, and quote the report reference number and title as it appears in the Forward Plan. 2

3 Exempt information Occasionally a report or part of a report may contain information that is exempt under Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 as amended. Where this is the case the Forward Plan will set out a reference number in the column titled 'Exempt. The key for the reference number is as follows: 1. relating to an individual. 2. which is likely to reveal the identity of an individual. 3. relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the Council). 4. relating to any consultations or negotiations in connection with any labour relations matter arising between the Council or Minister of the crown and employees of or office holders of the Council. 5. in respect of which a claim to legal professional privilege could be maintained in legal proceedings. 6. which reveals that the Council proposes to give a notice under any enactment by or under which requirements are imposed on a person, or to make an order or direction under any enactment. 7. relating to any action taken or to be taken in connection with the prevention, investigation or prosecution of crime. Please note that where a report or part of it is exempt, the public will not have access to it nor will any debate relating to it take place in the presence of members of the public or the press. The Forward Plan is to be treated as advance notice of the decision making meeting taking place either in whole or in part in private and the reference number treated as the reason why that is the case. Making representations about private meetings Members of the public are entitled to make representations as to why a particular decision should be held in public and if you wish to do so you should send your representation to thomas.ribbits@hounslow.gov.uk a minimum of 10 clear working days before the date set out in the Forward Plan on which the decision will be made so that your representation may be considered. Where it is determined that despite representations received a meeting or part of a meeting will take place in private, the Council will publish a notice indicating this and which will set out a statement of the reasons why the meeting will be held in private, details of the representations received and a statement in response. This notice will be published with the meeting agenda and public reports on the Council's website. How can you have your say? If you would like to obtain copies of the Forward Plan or comment on any decision included in the Forward Plan please let me know as soon as you can. I will then ensure your comments are considered by those taking the decision.
