Report of the Town Clerk.

The Committee noted the various outstanding actions and the updates provided thereon.

With reference to the Diversity and Inclusion action, it was noted that a meeting was shortly to be confirmed for 13 February.

In discussing Board Appointments, it was advised that Roly Keating would be resigning from the Board following his recent appointment to the Board of Channel Four. There was still some uncertainty as to the exact date of Mr Keating’s departure and an email would be circulated to the Board once this was known. The result of this would be that there would now be four vacancies on the Board arising at the end of March and it was confirmed that thought was being given to a diverse range of prospective candidates, which would be reviewed initially by the Nominations Committee. It was also confirmed that thought was being given to the establishment of a more structured induction programme for Board Members and a paper would also be going forward to the Nominations Committee.
