Harris, a Liberal Democrat councillor, was the unnamed individual referenced in the initial inquiry concerning the council’s communications and rebranding procurement process. Despite the report finding no evidence of wrongdoing by Harris, he proactively referred himself to the council’s monitoring officer last year to ensure full transparency.
