The meeting also saw the approval of the Pay Policy Statement for 2026/2027 and the Members' Allowances Scheme for the same year, which included the removal of the Minority Party Allocation. Three motions were also passed: one calling for modernised national gambling legislation, another pledging opposition to detrimental changes to the Freedom Pass scheme, and a final motion concerning bus timetable changes.
