The Chair signed the minutes of a meeting of this committee, held on 9 April 2025, as a true record. Following the unexpected death of Mrs Sharon Warnes, the Chair took the opportunity to express condolences to her family. It was noted that Sharon had been a Council officer and recently a Lay Member on the Governance and Audit Committee and former Member of the Pension Board; a respectful and conscientious person and she will be greatly missed.
RESOLVED to exclude the press and public from the meeting during the discussion on the following item due to the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph 12, Section 4, Schedule 12A, Local Government Act 1972. This paragraph is relevant as the report contains information about specific individuals who have the right to privacy. There is no public interest that calls for disclosing personal information about these individuals. Consequently, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
