Issue - meetings

The Committee resolved:-

to note the contents of the report and the positive outcome of the Charter.

With reference to article 12 of the minute of the meeting of 5 September 2023, the Committee had before it a report by the Interim Chief Officer – Governance (Assurance), which provided an update on the progress made by officers of the Trading Standards Service to address the issue of proxy purchasing of tobacco and Nicotine Vaping Products (NVPs), particularly the latter, in Aberdeen City. 

The report noted that the initiative had been a success as it had resulted in the Service receiving only one complaint in 2024 which alleged proxy purchasing was taking place in the city centre.

The report recommended:-

that the Committee note the contents of the report and the positive outcome of the Charter.

The Committee resolved:-

to approve the recommendation.
