Report of the Portfolio Holder –  Corporate Governance

Councillor James Watson remained outside the meeting during consideration of this item.

Councillor Duncan McGregor (Portfolio Holder for Corporate Governance) presented a report to Members recommending publication of the draft Pay Policy Statement 2020/21 attached to the report. He explained that the first Pay Policy Statement was produced in 2012 for the Council in response to the requirement in the Localism Act 2011, and this Policy was updated annually taking account of available guidance.

He added that the Pay Policy Statement for the Council had now been reviewed and updated for 2020/21, and the information contained within the original Pay Policy Statement was collated from a variety of difference sources, but there was no new information that had not been through an appropriate process of approval at the Council.

The recommendation in the report was moved by Councillor Duncan McGregor and seconded by Councillor Steve Fritchley (Leader of the Council). Councillor Steve Fritchley reserved the right to speak.

On being put to a vote it was RESOLVED that Council approves for publication the draft Pay Policy Statement 2020/21 attached at Appendix One.
