Response by the Cabinet Member: a) The original time frames were always going to be tight and to ensure the working group had sufficient notice to bring together a politically balanced group of councillor members and offering places to stakeholders on the working groups. Our aim was to enable councillor members and stakeholders to attend workshops to fit their needs and requirements. Additionally, the workshop members requested face to face meetings with the consultants and officers which added to the cost and to the delays. This enabled a full discussion on preparing recommendations to go to Scrutiny and onwards to the Cabinet for a decision. There was also a necessary period of refining the report for both Scrutiny and Cabinet to make decisions. b) Final report was submitted on the 30/04/2024 to officers to prepare the Cabinet Report. c) This was the decision of the Cabinet/Corporate Leadership Team meeting on the 16th July 2024 to withdraw the report from Scrutiny on the 19th July 2024. There was lack of agreement on the recommendations after a full discussion prior to Scrutiny. d) £49,796.31 was spent to deliver Member/Stakeholder Workshops, further additional face to face meetings to discuss recommendations and a full desk top review incorporated into the report. e) I am working with officers and the Corporate Leadership Team to provide a report which can be fully supported to take forward to Scrutiny as soon as practicable.
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.
