Minutes:
Councillor Muhammed Butt, Leader of the Council, introduced a report detailing the Executive response to a reference received from the Resources & Public Realm Scrutiny Committee held on 13 July 21 relating to the circumstances surrounding the UEFA European 2020 Championship final at Wembley Stadium.
In presenting the report, Councillor Butt highlighted the Council’s participation in the independent review being led by Baroness Casey as the single overarching review process which all partners had agreed to support. As part of this, members noted that the Council had already committed to undertake its own assessment of activities relating to its responsibilities covering safety, licensing and enforcement around the stadium in the build up to the final in order to feed into the Baroness Casey review and to fully review and respond to any recommendations around the Council’s role moving forward.
The Leader ended by once again thanking everyone involved in supporting delivery of the Championships at Wembley for their hard work and efforts and it was RESOLVED to approve the Executive response to the recommendations made by the Resources & Public Realm Scrutiny Committee on 13 July 2021 regarding the UEFA European 2020 Championship Final hosted at Wembley Stadium, as detailed within Appendix 1 of the report.
