Summary

Mr C complained that a council committee had gone beyond its remit under the council's scheme of delegation. He said that when considering whether to sell or rent out a property, the committee had altered a council officer's proposals and then approved those alterations.

Our investigation concluded that the committee's actions had not gone beyond their remit, and we did not uphold the complaint.
