J. Hassall informed members that due to service reviews currently being undertaken has resulted in members of staff not being able to attend to present reports as originally arranged. These service reviews are a priority across all directorates and will identify savings but the exercise will also need to ensure services are delivered in line with the Corporate Plan and the vision of the future council.
