To move that under Section 100(A)(4) of the Local Government Act 1972 the public and press be excluded from the meeting during consideration of the ensuing report on the grounds that the report involves the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in Paragraphs 1 and 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972.

The Head of HR, Performance and Service Planning informed the Committee that RM had appealed against the decision of the Waste, Fleet and Depot managers’ decision to dismiss him from the Council’s employment.

 

Members had considered the full agenda which had been circulated prior to the meeting.

 

The Waste, Fleet and Depot manager, Mick Morley attended with Andrea Snodin, Senior Personnel Officer, and presented the Council’s reasons for the decision to dismiss, showing video footage of the incident. The Committee then heard from RM and his representative, outlining their reasons for the appeal.

To uphold the Waste, Fleet and Depot manager’s decision for dismissal. The Committee resolved to dismiss the appeal as RM failed to comply with council procedure, and although the incident was reported to his manager within a reasonable period, RM had failed to report the incident to the police.
