Issue - meetings

This report presents the Committee with its annual Work Programme.

The Committee received a report presenting its annual Work Programme.

The following matters were considered:

a)            New item.  The Chair stated that Councillor Amis had requested an item on the agenda regarding the delay in Council telling external auditors that it had made changes to the Scheme of Delegation as an urgent item in July 2023.  Councillor Ames asked the Chair why he had not put the item on an agenda himself as it appeared to him a governance failure that this committee should be looking at.  The Chair stated that in his opinion the matter had been dealt with at several meetings and particularly at the last meeting when the Chief Executive attended to respond to committee questions.  However, officers would work with councillors to bring a report to the next meeting of the committee.

Following consideration the Committee unanimously resolved to:

(1)      Note and agree the ongoing Work Programme as presented in Section 2.
