Agenda item

Cabinet noted that a list of nominations received had been distributed to Members present at the meeting (and subsequently published as an Addendum to the report).

At the invitation of the Leader, Councillor Horrill addressed the meeting as summarised briefly below:

Queried the use of the heading “no contest” for table 3 of the addendum as the Conservative group had decided not to submit nominations due to not being selected in the past.  With regard to table 4, she requested that the names submitted by the Conservative group be given due consideration.

The Leader responded to the comments made, including highlighting that table 3 included the proposed retention of previous representatives from the Conservative group.

Cabinet considered the appointments set out in table 4 of the Addendum (where there more nominations put forward than vacancies) and agreed appointments as set out in the resolution below.
