The Committee had before it the Committee Business Planner prepared by the Chief Officer – Governance.

The Convener sought confirmation whether a request from Councillor Wheeler to add a thematic report from Police Scotland relating to Road Safety, which would include reference to horse riders, cyclists and other vulnerable rural road users could be added to the planner. In response, the Divisional Commander indicated that he would liaise with the Road Safety Pan-Grampian Group in this regard, but also to determine whether a presentation would be more appropriate.

The Committee resolved:-
