Issue - meetings

          The Board considered a report of the Operational Director - Finance, which sought approval of the final 2021/22 Annual Governance Statement (AGS).

The 2021/22 AGS was originally presented to the Board on 6 July 2022. It had however been updated to reflect developments in the Council’s governance arrangements since that date. As in previous years the AGS also included an action plan to ensure that the Council continued to maintain and improve its existing governance arrangements. The action plan from 2020/21 had also been reviewed and updated to reflect current progress.

Once approved the AGS would be signed by the Council Leader and Chief Executive and published on the Council’s website.

Arising from the discussion, a Member requested further information on the recent Senior Management Restructure which was to become effective shortly. It was agreed that this would be provided to the Board.

          RESOLVED: That the Annual Governance Statement 2021/22 be approved.
