Issue - meetings

The Committee heard from Councillor J. McNeill, Chairman of the Governance and Audit Committee, regarding the proposed amendment to the start time for meetings of the Governance and Audit Committee, from 2pm to 10am, commencing January 2022 and for the remainder of the Civic Year.

In response to questions and comments from the Committee, Members were assured that this was a stand-alone amendment for the Governance and Audit Committee and affected only three remaining meetings of the civic year. The Committee was already a daytime meeting and, given the extensions to the Public Participation Scheme through the covid-19 pandemic, the amendment to the earlier start time was unlikely to lead to any difficulties to any members of the public who may wish to participate.

The proposal was moved, seconded and unanimously

RESOLVED that the amendment of the start time for meetings of the Governance and Audit Committee from 2.00pm to 10.00am, commencing January 2022 and for the remainder of the Civic Year, be approved.
