Issue - meetings

Councillor Tom Kirkham left the meeting during the following item of business.

Committee considered a report in relation to the Council’s Strategic Risk Register.

The Portfolio Holder for Finance noted that the Strategic Risk Group were currently looking at cybercrime and ransom attacks.  This was important as IT was an integral part of the Authority.  He added that the Council viewed this type of crime seriously and took whatever mitigating steps possible.

It was noted that HS2 would be a subject for further discussion by Members given the Government’s recent announcement that some planned areas for the provision of HS2 would now be abolished.

Moved by Councillor Tom Munro and seconded by Councillor Peter Roberts

RESOLVED that the report and the Strategic Risk Register as set out in Appendix 1 to the report be noted.
