The Assistant Director Customer Focus submitted a report to update the Committee on how well the Council was managing its strategic risks.

In introducing the report, the Portfolio Holder for Corporate Services explained the Council’s overall risk profile remained stable and there were no changes to the residual risk score in the corporate risk register. The Portfolio Holder for Corporate Services highlighted a change to the risk numbering of items between the current report and previous versions which meant that the risk scores would not be directly comparable.

In response to a Committee question asking for more details regarding risk L04 – Five year housing land supply and a query regarding why there had been no change to risk L10 – Cyber Security and what the council was doing to address potential cyber attacks, the Head of Finance undertook to liaise with the risk owners and provide a written response.  

Resolved

(1)      That the Risk Monitoring Report for Quarter 1 2025 – 26 be noted.
