On a proposal by Councillor Aled Thomas, it then voted to refer the report to Full Council on 11 December 2025 before Cabinet decides; nine members voted in favour and two abstained.

Items are linked when their titles share most of their words and they fall within 18 months of each other. Councils don't number reports across meetings, so a few links may be wrong, and a step may be missing if its title changed a lot. Each step links to the meeting, where the council's own papers are.
