The Governance Manager presented a report seeking to establish the Council’s Committees and Advisory Groups for the 2021/22 Municipal Year.

 

Councillor David Dixon referred to the report paragraph stating “in order to complete the 2020/21 work of the existing scrutiny committees, the Members who were appointed to the former committees will continue to meet informally for a period of 2 months in order to complete outstanding review work” and asked if these informal meetings would utilise the existing or new Scrutiny Committee memberships. The Governance Manager informed him that for these informal meetings, the Scrutiny Committee memberships would remain as appointed in May 2019.
