The Committee considered a report of Assistant Director – Law & Governance/Monitoring Officer as part of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee’s (OSC) constitutional obligation to report annually to Council on function of their workings and make recommendations for future work programmes and amended working methods if appropriate.

The Committee were asked to consider and approve the draft annual report for 2025-26, for submission to full Council. The report provided a summary of the subjects covered by OSC during the previous Municipal Year, highlighting key observations and outcomes of discussions. 

Members were advised that due to the timing of the draft report, information would need adding to reflect the discussions had at this meeting. Delegated authority was therefore requested for the Assistant Director Law and Governance, in consultation with the Chair, to finalise the report as required for its submission to full Council in May.

Resolved   

(1)             That having given due consideration, the Overview and Scrutiny Committee Annual Report – 2025-26 be noted.

(2)             That authority be delegated to the Assistant Director Law and Governance, in consultation with the Overview and Scrutiny Chair, to finalise the report for submission to full Council
