Issue - meetings

The Chair thanked everyone for attending this Special Meeting of the North West (Inner) Area Committee which was being held to allow sufficient time to consider the Well-Being Budget report which was not possible at the last meeting held on 29^th June 2006.  He then went on to thank those members of the public present for coming down to the Civic Hall for this meeting rather than a more convenient local venue.

The Chair also welcomed the recently elected Member for Weetwood Ward, Councillor Judith Chapman to her first North West Inner Area Committee meeting.
