The Committee received and considered the report of the Communications & Community Engagement Officer (C&CEO).

The Committee received the report of the Communications & Community Engagement Officer.

Members noted the apparent disappointing delivery rate of the spring newsletter and heard that Officers would follow this up further with the distributor. The Committee looked forward to receiving the results of the annual survey in due course, acknowledging it was still early in the return period.
