The Appointments Sub-Committee was scheduled to convene on Thursday 6th June 2024. The primary item on the agenda was the appointment to the significant role of Director of Culture and Place Shaping. The meeting was also scheduled to address routine administrative matters.

Appointment to Director of Culture and Place Shaping

The committee was scheduled to consider the appointment to the position of Director of Culture and Place Shaping. This item was designated as exempt from public access under the Local Government Act 1972, specifically citing paragraph 1 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Act. This means that the information discussed was likely to involve the disclosure of exempt information, and it was considered that the public interest in maintaining this exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosure. The report pack provided for this item was restricted, with details on pages 5 to 20. The report was prepared by Stuart Love, Chief Executive, and dated 30th May 2024.

Membership and Declarations of Interest

The agenda also included standard procedural items. The committee was scheduled to note any changes to its membership. Additionally, members were to receive declarations of interest, where councillors and officers would declare any pecuniary or other significant interests in the matters being discussed. This ensures transparency and adherence to the council's Code of Governance.
