To consider a report of the Leader of the Council

The report sets out the draft Business Programme for the municipal years 2012/13 & 2013/14, in which it is proposed to move to a six week cycle for meetings of the Executive, Scrutiny Committees and Regulatory Committees from the Annual Council Meeting in 2012. The report also proposes minor amendments to the dates of some meetings during the 2011/12 municipal year to facilitate a Council Meeting prior to the commencement of electoral ‘purdah’.

The Executive is requested to recommend approval of the Business Programme to the Council Meeting on 22 September 2011.
