Agenda item

The Committee received a report of the Corporate Director of Resource which sought approval of the Annual Governance Statement (AGS) for

2023/24 which was attached in appendix 2 (for copy see file of minutes).

Mr F Barnish asked if there were any update on the selective licensing programme which now had a 54% sign up as to whether this would be extended for another two years.

P Darby explained that a report had been submitted to a recent Overview and Scrutiny Committee who were reviewing and monitoring the programme.  The programme was for a 5 year fixed term and a review on its success would take 12-15 months to complete.  A report would be submitted to Cabinet if there was a need to apply to the Secretary of State to extend the programme. 

Resolved:

That the AGS as attached at Appendix 2 be approved
