To consider the report of the Head of Legal, Equalities and Democratic Services

Members received a report of the Head of Legal, Equalities and Democratic Services which referred to the review of the size of the Council (i.e. number of elected representatives) being undertaken by the Boundary Commission in response to a request from the Council. As part of the review the Council had been invited to make a recommendation on the most appropriate size and to provide evidence to support this. 

Councillor R. Hollingworth thanked officers for producing the report and expressed the view that it would not be worthwhile discussing the matter as the Chamber would not be able to agree a size that was acceptable to all.

Having been moved by Councillor R. Hollingworth and seconded by Councillor P. M. McDonald, it was

RESOLVED that Group Leaders make their own submissions on the future size of the Council to the Boundary Commission before 5 March 2012.
