Meeting Details

    Following the publication of the papers for the audit comand cabinet agendas, it was identified that a part of one report included information that was published in error and could presented a risk to the Council’s information security. On balance, and respecting the wider public interest, the Council has taken the exceptional step of removing this information from the report. Once the matter has been resolved, the original content of the report will be re-uploaded for public inspection
