To consider a report of the Corporate Director, Finance and Systems.

The Head of Financial Management was in attendance to introduce a report of the Corporate Director, Finance and Systemswhich provided a summary of insurance performance for 2019/20, across a range of insurance activities, and which looked forward to expected market conditions in the coming year. An opportunity was provided for Members to raise issues in relation to the report’s content; these centred on the possible implications of widespread working from home on employer’s liability, claims arising from highway trees, and the potential benefits which might accrue in future from the LGA Mutual organisation, which had not been operational when the Council had last needed to issue a tender for insurance.

            RESOLVED – That the content of the report be noted.
