Agenda item

Members considered the Legal Services Report Card.

Members asked whether there was an opportunity to generate income from work in relation to environmental impact work and officers confirmed that the Council could only cover its costs and not make a profit.

Members asked for clarity that with the impending staff changes of the next year or so would the department be a new looking one. Officers confirmed that a policy of developing in house legal experts was the preferred option to ensure business continuity.

Following scrutiny the report was noted.
