Issue - meetings

Members’ attention was drawn to a revised Appendix 1 to the report which had been tabled. This was due to a notice having been received from the Independent Members and Members of the Wythall Residents’ Association that they wished to be treated as a political group known as The Independents and Wythall Residents Coalition for the purposes of the allocation of seats on committees. In line with the proportionality rules, this had required the proposed allocation of seats to be re-calculated.

It was proposed by Councillor R. Hollingworth and seconded by Councillor Mrs. J. M. L. A. Griffiths and

RESOLVED:

(a)    that for the ensuing Municipal Year, the Committees set out in the table in the revised Appendix 1 to the report be appointed and that the representation of the different political groups on the Council on those Committees be as set out in that table until the next Annual Meeting of the Council, or until the next review of political representation under Section 15 of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989, whichever is the earlier;

(b)    that Members be appointed to the Committees in accordance with nominations to be made by Party Group Leaders or Co-ordinators.
