Members noted that no officer was in attendance to present this item. With the approval of the Chair, Councillor Wright explained that:-
· the report that had been submitted was only an interim update; and
· the November 28 meeting of the Customer Focus Scrutiny Committee would be a better forum to receive a fuller report.
The Committee formally requested that the item ‘Consultation Charter and Development of an Engagement and Consultation Policy’ be brought back to the next meeting (November 28), to be presented by the Strategic Director for People and Communities.
