·         Responsibility for the Bereavement Service had been transferred from the Cabinet member for Safer and Stronger Communities to the Cabinet member for Strategic Street Scene/Environment (Cllr Mike Leaves)

·         Responsibility for decisions concerning the Social Enterprise Investment Fund had been allocated to the Cabinet member for Safer and Stronger Communities (Cllr Dave Downie)

·         Amended the portfolio for HR/Democracy and Governance/Licensing to HR and Democracy
