What is a pre-agenda?

A pre-agenda is essentially a dry run of a Committee meeting where the Convener (or chair) of the Committee and the Vice Convener meet with officers in advance of the final agenda and reports being issued to members of the Committee and put in the public domain.

The pre-agenda normally takes place a week or so before the Committee papers are due to be issued and about 2 weeks before the actual Committee meeting. It provides the Convener and Vice Convener with the opportunity to review draft reports and agree any changes with officers.

I received my papers for tomorrow's Policy and Resources Pre-agenda on Thursday and have spent part of the weekend reading the reports.

  1. Mr McCabe we find your blog very good thanks.
    Is there anything planned on the agenda for Drumfocher road .There are no parks in the area for the children of the area. The tennant association does not seem to know .Me and my sister asked them but did not find them to be very bothered about it.Greenock is looking great with the new school,which one of my children will go to when it opens. but when is it our turn for parks and new houses.

  2. Thanks for your feedback on the blog: it is much appreciated.

    My colleague Jim Clocherty is working hard to address the issues you have highlighted. If you email me at the Council (Stephen.McCabe@inverclyde.gov.uk) I will ask Jim to get in touch with you.
