Comptroller and City Solicitor to be heard.

The Town Clerk reported that the three new Independent Persons successfully appointed in the Autumn had now attended an initial induction with the Deputy Town Clerk, Comptroller and City Solicitor, Chief Commoner and Principal Governance and Member Services Officer.

It was reported that there were currently no live complaints. The Chief Commoner reported that she was hopeful that the recently introduced Pre-Complaints Protocol was working well.

It was also hoped that all twelve Independent Persons would meet at the Guildhall in early 2024 for a training and introduction session allowing the full Panel to meet for the first time.
