Issue - meetings

Apologies for absence were received on behalf of Councillors S. R. Colella and J. M. L. A. Griffiths with Councillors L. Turner and S. Webb attending as their respective substitutes.

Members noted that during the Overview and Scrutiny training on 15th June 2015 the need to be apolitical had been discussed as a means to achieve effective overview and scrutiny.  The Chairman and Vice Chairman had therefore agreed to trial a new, alphabetical seating order at future meetings of the Board and to use white name plates, rather than coloured name plates.
