The Employment Committee of Lancashire County Council was scheduled to meet on Tuesday, 19 May 2026. The agenda for the meeting indicated that the primary item for discussion would be the annual pay award and employment terms and conditions for Lancashire Renewables. Other items included the confirmation of previous minutes and the date of the next meeting.

Lancashire Renewables Annual Pay Award and Employment Terms & Conditions

The main item scheduled for discussion was the Lancashire Renewables Annual Pay Award 2026 & Employment Terms & Conditions. This item was designated as exempt from public disclosure, citing Paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972, which relates to information concerning the financial or business affairs of any particular person, including the authority. The report pack indicated that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosing the information. The report was prepared by H MacAndrew, Director of Law and Governance, at County Hall, Preston.
