Approval of Minutes

The committee was scheduled to approve the minutes from the previous meeting held on 22 January 2026.

Exempt Items

Two items were scheduled for discussion in a closed session, with the recommendation that the public be excluded. These items were designated as exempt under the Local Government Act 1972 due to the likely disclosure of confidential information.

Exempt Minutes

The first exempt item involved the approval of exempt minutes from the meeting held on 22 January 2026. The information within these minutes was classified as exempt under category 3 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, relating to Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information) . The report pack indicated that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosure.

Local Government Reorganisation - System Wide Interim Director Role

The second exempt item concerned a report and annex related to Local Government Reorganisation - System Wide Interim Director Role . This information was deemed exempt under categories 1 and 2 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, which cover Information which is likely to reveal the identity of an individual and Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information) . Similar to the exempt minutes, the report pack stated that the public interest in maintaining the exemption was considered to outweigh the public interest in disclosure.

The agenda also included standard procedural items such as apologies for absence and declarations of interest. The guidance note on declarations of interest outlined the types of interests councillors must declare, including disclosable pecuniary interests and other registrable interests, and the procedures for managing such declarations to uphold the Members' Code of Conduct and public perception.
