The Chairman welcomed Felix Dudgeon to the meeting, who was currently in his third year at university and was interested in the work of the Audit Committee to help with completing his dissertation.

 

The Chairman advised that this was the last meeting for the two co-opted members of the Committee, Ms Kathryn Larkin-Bramley and Mr Tom Hoban.  Unfortunately, Kathryn had submitted her apologies for the meeting.  The Chairman placed on record his thanks and appreciation for the amount of work carried out by Tom and Kathyrn as the detail and commitment shown by them had been remarkable.

 

He introduced the Chairman of the County Council, Councillor J Blakey, who presented gifts of appreciation.

 

Mr Hoban said that he had enjoyed the last 9 years that he had served on the Committee and thanked officers and Members for the professionalism throughout.  He was pleased to see the County was in good hands.
