Decision:
The Cabinet had before it a * report of the Group Manager for Property and Commercial Assets providing an update on the procedures for ensuring compliance with managing the risk of Legionella

· The routine inspections that took place in the Council owned Leisure Centres and the processes that would take place following the current period of lockdown
