The Employees Committee (Appeals) of Leicester Council met on Monday 6 July 2026. The primary item on the agenda was an appeal against dismissal, which was scheduled to be heard in a private session.

Appeal Against Dismissal

The committee was scheduled to consider an appeal against dismissal. The report pack indicated that both the appellant's and management's statements of case were provided to the committee, along with other background and general information. The meeting was to be held in a private session, with the press and public excluded, on the grounds that the discussion would involve exempt information relating to an individual. The committee was recommended to resolve that the public interest in maintaining the information as exempt outweighed the public interest in disclosing it, in accordance with the Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1985.

The agenda for the meeting was published on the council's website. The committee members present were Councillor Whittle (Chair), Councillor Cutkelvin (Deputy City Mayor - Housing, Economy, and Neighbourhoods), and Councillor Dave. Councillor Whittle also serves as the Assistant City Mayor - Environment and Transport. The meeting was scheduled to take place at City Hall, Leicester.
