Agenda item

Resolved: It is recommended that, having due regard that no integrated impact assessment is required that the Democratic Services Committee note the Members Annual Report Scheme and that the Democratic Services Manager communicates with all Members via email, reminding them of the scheme and inviting them to complete an Annual Report should they so wish.

The Democratic Services Manager provided an overview of the report contained in the agenda pack and reminded members that support was available for any member who wished to produce an annual report.

Members asked how many annual reports have been produced since the last election.

The Democratic Services Manager confirmed that only a very small amount of annual reports had been produced and all annual reports are published on the council website. It was noted that current technology may allow for members feedback to be produced in various other formats.
