The Scrutiny Officer presented the fourth Post-Scrutiny Monitoring Report assessing progress against the recommendations to date for the Review of Members ICT & Support and ICT Service Delivery to the Committee.

The Committee had put together 13 recommendations to the Executive with the intent to assist the Council in improving equipment provision and support to Members and the operation of meeting spaces within a modern post-COVID-19 environment.

12 out of 13 recommendations had been achieved, with 7 within the target date and 5 completed behind schedule.  Recommendation 1.4, which had been previously extended, was now marked ‘Alert’ and so required the Committee’s attention.

Councillor Cathy Jeffery left the meeting at 10:10 hours.

It was requested for the non-implementation reasons, detailed in the attached Appendix 1 to the report, that the Committee withdrew the recommendation and that the planned power supply in the Chamber now not be upgraded.
