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.
RESOLVED to appoint Sharron Williams Carter to the post of (Interim) Head of Children and Supporting Families Department.
Decided: The Council noted the activities and events attended by the Presiding Member from April 2025 to March 2026. Noting the report means it was received, with no further action required.
Decided: The Council asked officers to prepare a scoping report, a first report setting out options, on how the council could do more to tackle obesity and support healthier lives. The report is to come to Council early in the new cycle. The Council also noted that no aspects of the motion apply to its statutory regulatory functions, including planning and advertisement consent decisions. Matters will be kept under review, with a further update only if circumstances materially change.
Decided: The Council agreed to give notice on the Section 33 agreement for Gwent Frailty. A local replacement agreement is to be worked towards, to be defined by respective Directors and the Joint Executive Team within the 12-month notice period.
Decided: The Council approved the proposals in the funding packages that fit the principles, aims and objectives of the draft Blueprint for Growth.
Decided: The Council approved the Annual Treasury Strategy Statement, the Annual Investment Strategy, the MRP Policy Statement and the Prudential Indicators for 2026/2027. The decision was unanimous.

Decided: The Committee noted the Plan and made no recommendations affecting it. The Plan was therefore agreed.
Decided: The Committee recommended that Cabinet apply the precautionary principle. It asked Cabinet to give the greatest weight to protecting the ecosystem of the lakes at Cosmeston Country Park, and no weight to Council income, when considering an aqua park or similar activities there. The Committee voted 6 to 5 in favour. An earlier motion to ban aqua park operations that could expose children to contaminated water was tied at 6 to 6, so the Chair used her casting vote against it and it was not carried.
RESOLVED: That the minutes of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee held on the 10 February 2026 be approved as a true and accurate record of the meeting.
Decided: The Committee resolved to scrutinise the Council's financial and operational performance as at 31 December 2025 (Quarter 3), and to consider whether to scrutinise any matter in the report in more depth under the Committee's terms of reference.
Decided: The Committee noted the report and agreed to scrutinise the information and evidence available. It agreed to receive a further report in six months.

Decided: The committee approved application P2025/0604 for a first-floor extension at Uphill House, Resolven. It voted against the officers' recommendation to refuse.
