Reporting Person – Gareth John

The Executive received a report which sought approval to recommend to Council the Calendar of Meetings 2024-25.  It was noted that the report proposed that meetings of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee were held in the same week as the Executive to allow for pre-decision scrutiny.  In addition, it was proposed to reduce the number of Planning Committees held during June and July.  The Leader reminded Members that additional meetings could be arranged during the Municipal Year if required.

That the Calendar of Meetings 2024/25 be approved as set out in Appendix 1 to the report.

Reason:   In accordance with Standing Order 1.2 of the Constitution, which states that “The date of the annual (Council) meeting and those of ordinary meetings shall be fixed by the Council in or about December of the preceding municipal year”.
