In accordance with paragraph 4.2.13 (b) of the Council’s constitution, the chairperson considered that this item should be discussed at this meeting as a matter of urgency.

 

The committee considered the annual governance statement 2019/20.

 

The vice-chairperson drew attention to the ‘Principle B: Ensuring openness and comprehensive stakeholder engagement’ section (supplement page 32) and it was suggested that consideration be given to the syntax of the sentence ‘Whilst the council supports and advices suggestion from independent person is to tightening of rules covering training, disclosure and complaint resolution for parish councillors’.  The interim head of legal services agreed to reword the sentence.

 

Resolved:  That the annual governance statement 2019/20, at appendix 1 of the report, be approved.
