Resolved

 (1)   That the Risk Monitoring Report for Quarter 4 2025-26 be noted

The Head of Chief Executive’s Office submitted a report to update the Committee on how well the Council was managing its strategic risks.

In introducing the report, the Leader (of the Council) – Strategic Partnerships and Regeneration (Councillor McLean) confirmed that there were no score changes in the Leadership Risk Register during the last quarter of the 2025-26 financial year. High and medium risks remained under close review with mitigating actions in place.

The Committee was advised that as the risk register reflected the final quarter of the 2025-26 financial year, it did not include any changes in light of the  Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) recently placing the council under government designation for major developments. The Leader – Strategic Partnerships and Regeneration explained that once further review of the impact had concluded, the risk register would be updated accordingly.

Resolved

 (1)   That the Risk Monitoring Report for Quarter 4 2025-26 be noted
