RESOLVED – T H A T the comments made by Members of the Governance and
Audit Committee be referred to Cabinet. The comments being:
• The report was easily accessible given the level and detail of information
provided;
• For extra context to be added around the use of agency staff and the
percentage of overall Council salaries that agency contracts make. Also to
add in some information regarding the Council’s policies around the use of
staff employed via agencies;
• Who were the targeted audiences as it would be difficult for the ordinary
person to engage with the report;
• Consideration be given to the balanced opinions provided in the report,
particularly as Council Tax was rising and the level of services were
decreasing;
• Brexit was mentioned under the Critical Challenges section but there was very
little detail about what that meant;
• Was more balanced commentary needed around Project Zero given that at its
previous meeting of the Governance and Audit Committee, the Committee
had asked for the risk to be attributed a “catastrophic” status;
• It was important to highlight the risks associated with Project Zero as the
Council had committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2030;
• The report mentioned that the Council had introduced new technology to
facilitate hybrid Council and Committee meetings, but given recent progress
was that a true reflection;
• There was reference to staff absence days increasing, so more context
behind that was required as well as data to show as a comparison to other
Local Authorities;
• With regard to areas that had missed targets for consideration to be given as
to how these were presented and to also include further commentary under
the Regulatory Improvements section.
