To receive an update on the request by Councillor A Fittock (APPENDIX A) and to consider the conclusions from the Overview and Scrutiny Committee Working Group special workshop session held on 13 November 2025 as part of its initial assessment (APPENDIX B).

To note that the above request by Councillor V J Bell (proforma attached) was reported to the Overview and Scrutiny Committee Working Group in September 2025 but since the matter had not first been raised with Officers of the Council or the relevant Committee the request was contrary to the Committee’s operating protocol in terms of being able to be actioned.

The Committee is therefore requested to take no further action in respect of this request.
