To ask Cabinet to note the exercise of the Chief Executive’s urgency powers under chapter 2 Part 1 of the Council’s procedure rules within the constitution.

Cabinet noted the exercise of the Chief Executive’s Urgency Powers, including the approval of a budget of £20,000 to commission a refresh of the evidence base for the possible adoption of a Community Infrastructure Levy for Broxtowe, which will be funded directly from General Fund Reserve balances in 2023/24. It was suggested that training be organised for Members in relation to information about the Community Infrastructure Levy.

In the second case of the use of Urgency Powers, the Chief Executive was approached by a leader from the Muslim community in Beeston to exercise discretion to waive the requirement of a double charge for out of Borough residents for burial in the Muslim burial ground in Chilwell.
