To submit the report of the Chair of the Governance and Audit Committee.

To accept the report.

Submitted - the Annual Report of the Governance and Audit Committee 2022/23.  In the absence of the Chair of the Committee, Mrs Sharon Warnes, due to ill-health, and also as it had not been possible for the Vice-chair, Mr Eifion Jones, or any of the other lay members to attend at short notice, the report was submitted by Councillor Paul Rawlinson, as an elected member of the Committee.

Councillor Paul Rowlinson noted that it was a pleasure to submit the Chair's first report, based on Welsh Government's statutory requirements, outlining how the Committee had considered the difficult factors the Council had faced over the period along with the Committee's observations on how the Council has responded firmly to those risks.

All the officers who had been supporting the Committee’s work in a thorough and professional manner were thanked and also both Elected and Lay Members for their key contribution to the Committee's work.

RESOLVED to accept the report.
