[To consider proposals to extend the current terms of office of the Parish Councils' Representatives on the Standards Committee.]

The Committee considered a report which contained proposals to extend, for the 2009 appointments, the current terms of office of the Parish Councils' Representatives (including the Deputy Parish Councils' Representative) on the Standards Committee, and for a further review of the terms of office of the parish representatives to take place in 2011, in line with the next round of parish council elections. 

Mr. Hodgetts and Mr. Cypher, the Parish Councils' Representatives on the Committee, advised that the Bromsgrove Area Committee of the Worcestershire County Association of Local Councils ('CALC') had considered the proposals at its meeting on 4th March 2009 and was in support of these. 

RECOMMENDED:

(a)       that the terms of office of the Parish Councils' Representatives on the Standards Committee for 2009 be extended from one year to two years; and

(b)       that a further review of the terms of office of the Parish Councils' Representatives be undertaken in 2011, following the next round of parish council elections.
