To consider the report of the Chairman of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee, (copy enclosed).

The Council considered the report of the Chairman of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee providing an update on the activities of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee since October 2019 and seeking Members’ approval of future arrangements for the Committee to report on an annual basis to the Council.

The report outlined that to date the Committee had two items of scrutiny on its programme of work and a summary of each item was provided.  Members noted that it was suggested that an annual report from the Committee be received at the Statutory Annual meeting of Council.

The Chairman of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee presented the report and proposed that the recommendation as set out in the report be approved.  This was duly seconded and agreed.

RESOLVED that the principle of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee submitting an annual report on its work to each statutory annual meeting of the Council is endorsed, and that this update is both noted and also accepted as the annual report for 2020 / 21.
