The Procedures Committee decided to recommend proposed changes to the Scheme of Governance to Full Council on 01/05/2025. These changes include transferring licensing matters from Area Committees to the Licensing Sub-Committee, giving the Infrastructure Services Committee power to determine cross-Area Traffic Orders, abolishing the Appeals Committee for most employees and establishing a sub-committee for teaching staff appeals, and updating officer powers for donations, sick pay extensions, and animal licensing. New guidance on how the public can request to speak at meetings was also prepared.
