Council are asked to consider two of the initial recommendations arising from this report:

a)  “That under its duty of care for all employees, the Council is encouraged to consider greater security within the office for its staff and at all times has awareness for this duty of care. Security of the front office door is particularly important and measures should be installed so that the officers can control who is permitted into the building at specific times.”

b)  “We would advise that the Council may wish to adopt a policy on the filming of its meetings. If meetings of the Council are being filmed then it may well have the effect of calming behavior at meetings.”

13.  COUNCIL VACANCY
