To consider the report.

The Council noted the report.

The Council received and noted a report by the Scrutiny for Policies and Place Committee, which was presented by Cllr Anna Groskop, Chair of the Committee. The report covered the work of the Committee since September 2021 she encouraged greater interest and input from elected members into the Scrutiny function as this would be important in the coming years and she thanked everyone that had helped with the work of the Committee. By leave Councillor Tessa Munt asked about the disposal of land at Ash as she stated that the report did not adequately reflect the discussion of the Committee when this matter had been subject to a ‘call-in’. Councillor Mike Rigby asked about some Freedom of Information questions the answers to which had not yet been published and he was assured by the Chief Executive that this matter would be resolved shortly.

Cllr Chilcott, Cabinet Member for Resources, stated her thanks to Cllr Groskop and her Committee for their scrutiny, particularly of the Council’s financial reports, as their work was much valued.
