Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on Redbridge and are not the council. About us

The Extraordinary General Purposes Committee of Redbridge Council was scheduled to convene on Tuesday 23 April 2019. The agenda included a review of polling places and the confirmation of previous meeting minutes.

Polling Places Review

A report was scheduled to be presented regarding the Polling Places Review. Further details of this report were not available in the provided documentation.

Minutes of Previous Meeting

The committee was scheduled to review the minutes from the General Purposes Committee meeting held on 18 March 2019. The minutes from that meeting indicated that the committee had resolved to note and refer the Council's Pay Policy Statement to full Council for approval. This Pay Policy Statement, published annually to meet the requirements of the Localism Act 20111, outlines the council's approach to transparency and accountability in local government pay. It covers various aspects including officer remuneration, chief officer pay, bonus payments, redundancy, and pension arrangements. During the previous meeting, the Head of Employee Experience confirmed that the council's pay policy was comparable to those of other local authorities and that payments exceeding £100,000 would require approval from Full Council, in line with the Localism Act 2011.


  1. The Localism Act 2011 is a piece of UK legislation that devolved more power from central government to local authorities and individuals.
