Summary

Hearing of Complaint MC00304

The panel is scheduled to consider a report from the Monitoring Officer regarding complaint MC00304. The agenda and public reports pack indicate that pages 8-144 of the reports pack are dedicated to this item.

Exclusion of Press and Public

The Governance Committee - Hearing Panel is scheduled to consider excluding the press and public from the meeting. The agenda states that this is because the report contains exempt information as defined within Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 19721. The Proper Officer considers that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

Other items

  • The meeting will begin with the election of a chairman.
  • The panel will receive any apologies for absence.
  • The panel will receive any declarations of interest from members.

  1. The Local Government Act 1972 is legislation that defines the structure and functions of local authorities in England and Wales. Schedule 12A defines categories of information that can be kept confidential.
