Agenda item

To receive a verbal update from the Leader of the Council.

The Committee received a verbal update from the Leader of the Council in respect of the recent meeting she facilitated. She was disappointed that only one of the eight groups invited had attended the online meeting.

Members discussed if future meetings would be held in person and decided this should be considered along with informal Terms of Reference and guidance for this Councillor led panel.

The Chair opened up conversation on what “Inclusivity & Diversity” meant to each individual member and many different views were expressed during the conversation focusing around removing barriers, listening rather than talking, actively encouraging residents/participants views and being open to be educated by different groups.

Resolved:

That, the verbal update be noted.
