The Mayor referred Members to the Overview and Scrutiny Annual Report for 2018-19 as published in the Agenda.

Councillor Worrall welcomed the annual report but noted that the report appeared to be muddled and the content was repetitive. Councillor Worrall had been disappointed that no photo of the chair had been included.

Councillor Spillman stated the report appeared to be light with insufficient details of some of the major issues that had been discussed at overview and scrutiny committees this municipal year.

Councillor Okunade also made similar comments with the report being repetitive to what was in the report against what each chair had written.

Councillor Gledhill noted the comments made by Members and stated if Members were unhappy with the content of their report the recommendation could be changed to reflect this and suggested that the recommendation be changed to:

“That the Overview and Scrutiny Annual Report 2018/19 would be returned to Council at a later date”.

Upon being put to the vote, Members voted unanimously in favour of the amended recommendation, whereupon the Mayor declared this to be carried.

RESOLVED:

That the Overview and Scrutiny Annual Report 2018/19 would be returned to Council at a later date.
