Voting record

A recorded vote was taken on the following amendment to the resolutions proposed by Councillor C. Hotham (with the named voted being requested by Councillor H. Rone-Clarke):

“Council notes that:-

Whilst the Council has had late sight of the PWC report commissioned by Worcestershire County Council, it has not had sight of the underlying assumptions upon which it is based. It is not therefore possible at this stage to identify the most favourable option for Bromsgrove District Council. This is contrary to the Minister’s request in his letter of the 5th February that Councils work collaboratively.

Council therefore resolves that:-

Based on the information currently available, the Council’s preferred option at this stage would be for a North Worcestershire Unitary Council and a South Worcestershire Unitary Council.

In light of the Government’s requirement for a collaborative approach the Council will endorse the Interim Plan as set out in Appendix 5.”

At the request of Councillor K. May there was a recorded vote on the resolutions in respect of the following item: Local Government Reorganisation – Interim Plan Proposals for Worcestershire – Bromsgrove.

In accordance with the Local Authorities (Standing Orders) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2014, the vote on the Medium Term Financial Plan 2025/26 to 2027/28 report was taken through holding a formal recorded vote.

In accordance with the Local Authorities (Standing Orders) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2014 the Council took a formal recorded vote in respect of the Council Resolutions 2025/26.

“Bromsgrove District Council believes that the County Council elections should go ahead as planned in May and any suggestion of them being cancelled is premature”.

A request was received from Councillor S. Nock for a recorded vote in respect of a Motion on Notice in relation to the Winter Fuel Allowance. 

Prior to the debate, Councillor H. Jones had left the meeting and she was therefore not present for the debate nor vote thereon.
