The board adopted a consistent approach to all football-related extended-hours applications by requiring ticketed entry, cessation of alcohol sales 15 minutes after the final whistle, and premises closure 30 minutes after the final whistle to allow orderly dispersal. This is a licensing policy decision that affects how venues will operate on match day and will be used as the standard condition set for comparable applications.
“So I think it's an important point here that probably do want to hear what is the plan for each premises in terms of you know if people are going outside how is that going to be managed and whether it's smoking but certainly the dispersal part of that as well to ensure that it's…”
Council approved progression of a homelessness accommodation project to develop 10 modular units plus a support hub, with a project manager to be recruited and public consultation on the site. The scheme is explicitly framed as spend-to-save because it should reduce expensive out-of-area placements and nightly bed-and-breakfast use, while adding much-needed local temporary accommodation capacity.

The committee approved a new internal audit strategy and updated internal audit charter to comply with the Global Internal Audit Standards. The strategy covers 2026 to 2029 and sets the framework for how internal audit will operate, including its vision, objectives, role and authority. This is a governance policy change rather than a direct procurement decision, but it affects future audit oversight of procurement and contract management.
“This report uh from internal audit today seeks approval on the new internal audit strategy and an updated internal audit charter. Section three outlines the requirements of part of the global internal audit standards and paragraphs 4.1 to 4.4 provide the details on the preparatio…”

The council reported a draft General Fund revenue underspend of £3.6m for 2025/26 after reserves, with a further £3.2m added to committed reserves. Capital outturn showed an underspend of £9.6m, with £9.2m proposed to be carried forward into 2026/27 to complete projects. This indicates significant deferred capital delivery and continued use of reserves to manage financial resilience.

The council discussed a major transformation programme with neighbouring councils, focused on collaborative business cases, governance, and service redesign. A £2 million Scottish Government investor save fund has already been secured, with an additional £1.5 million bid submitted. Members emphasised that future options will return for approval, with the work covering areas such as procurement, revenues and benefits, housing, roads, resilience, and social care.
The meeting focused on three major procurement and financial topics: continuation of the Clackmannanshire Transformation Space and its community-led funding model, a significant debt write-off and updated corporate debt policy, and a new regional Local Growth Fund investment plan. Members also approved a homelessness accommodation project involving modular units and a support hub, with strong emphasis on spend-to-save savings, site selection, and project management support. Across the discussion there was repeated concern about monitoring, duplication, sustainability, and the reduced revenue funding available under new UK funding arrangements.
The meeting focused on two main procurement-related matters: progress on the fixed-price construction of the Wellbeing Hub and Lochies School project, including community benefits and media interest; and the next-stage consultation on a revised home-to-school transport policy driven by outdated rules, equality issues, and financial pressures. The council also noted that the final agenda item was exempt and dealt with separately.
The meeting focused on a major emergency incident in Coal’s Norton caused by ground movement, with extensive discussion of the council’s statutory duties, the mining remediation authority’s investigations, and the multi-agency response. Members examined resident support, communications, insurance support, and the financial implications of the Scottish Government’s £1 million funding. The council also discussed ongoing political engagement, recovery planning, staffing pressures, and the likely need for further external support if costs continue to rise.
The meeting focused on two main procurement-related themes: first, the status of the City Region Deal funding report, transparency measures, and the timing of future committee briefings and decisions; second, the internal audit report and action plan, including governance, benefits realisation, and reporting assurance. Members expressed concern about delayed papers, light agendas, the cadence of future meetings, and the need for clearer public reporting on spend and outcomes.
The meeting dealt mainly with a planning application for alterations and extensions to Teleutry Baptist Church. Officers recommended refusal because the proposed front extension was judged to harm the building’s character and the nearby conservation area, but members heard strong arguments for community benefit, accessibility, reuse of a vacant asset, and sustainability. After debate, the committee resolved to overturn the officer recommendation and approve the application, acknowledging some visual harm but finding the wider benefits outweighed it.
