Agenda item

It was noted that the report included a paragraph (para 11) explaining that there had been two additional special meetings called within 2025/25.  Statutory notice was given for these meeting however it was appreciated that it is not always possible for Members to re-arrange their calendars to accommodate these additional meetings.  Therefore, in Appendix 1 to this report the additional meetings had been separated out.

However there was a request from one Member for the report in Appendix 1 to be redesigned in the future to better reflect any changes to meetings.  The Authority Solicitor agreed to discuss this further with the Member outside of the meeting.

The recommendation as set out in the report was proposed, seconded, put to the vote and carried.

RESOLVED:

1)    To note the annual return of the Members’ attendance for 2024/25 at meetings of the Authority, Standing Committees and Essential Member Training as set out in Appendix 1 to the report.
