Scrutiny Considerations

The Committee received a report from the Commercial Operations Manager. Work would be undertaken in Summer 2017.

The Commercial Operations Manager updated his report by correcting a typographical error on P33. The figure should be £1.6m not “capital bid of £1.4 million”.

The Committee unanimously resolved to endorse the recommendations as amended.

The Executive Councillor approved the recommendations as amended.
