            The Board considered a report of the Strategic Director, Enterprise, Community and Resources, which sought approval of the draft Annual Governance Statement (AGS) for 2018/19.

            It was noted that the AGS, attached to the report at Appendix 1, provided an overview of the governance framework in place for 2018/19. A key aspect of the AGS was the identification of areas where the Council’s governance arrangements would need to be developed.

            The report detailed the process followed in producing the AGS; this was noted as being the same as in the previous year, being led by a group of Officers that had key roles in the maintenance and development of the Council’s governance framework. Once approved, the AGS would be signed off by the Council Leader and the Chief Executive.

            RESOLVED: That the revised version of the Annual Governance Statement 2018/19 be approved.
