Cllr Bamforth kindly replied as follows.
Mr Taylor,
As you are aware, all East Renfrewshire Cabinet meetings are open to the public, press and external auditors.
In addition, there is a call in process whereby any Councillor can call in decisions made by Cabinet, to be debated at the Full Council or Audit and Scrutiny Committee.
The recording of Planning was a decision made in relation to one meeting only and does not imply that any future meeting will be recorded.
I am therefore satisfied, as is Audit Scotland, that there is openness and transparency in our process.
