Philip McCourt, Director of Law and Governance introduced the report which provided the Committee with an opportunity to comment on the Council’s pre-existing Petition Scheme and sought support for a review of the scheme to be undertaken and reported back at the next meeting. The Committee was advised that following discussions with the Chair and Group Spokes, it was felt that more time was required to undertake a comprehensive review of the scheme and that reporting back to a later meeting would be more practical.

Resolved – That

the Director of Law and Governance be requested to undertake a review of the existing petition scheme and report back to a future meeting.
