Minutes:

The Head of Policy, Communications and Governance made a presentation to the Committee which covered the following:

 

·  That following the previous meeting, the Head of Environment and Public realm had confirmed that, although funding had been withdrawn from the Mid Kent Downs Countryside Partnership, contact would be made with the Partnership to see whether any other support can be offered by the Council; and

·  The Outside Bodies recommended for removal or retention in the report were a result of further research requested at the last meeting of the Committee.

 

In response to a question from a member of the Committee, the Democratic and Administration Services Manager confirmed that it was possible for the Committee to reconsider the list of outside bodies that had been agreed at the previous meeting.

 

The Committee was minded to review some of the Outside Bodies recommended for removal at the previous meeting, but did not want to make a decision until all of the relevant information was available on the specific bodies the Committee wished to review.

 

RESOLVED:

 

1.  That a further report be brought back to the next Democracy Committee to reconsider the following Outside Bodies:

 

·  Collis Millenium Green Trust

·  Medway Valley Line Steering Group

·  Kent Community Rail Partnership

·  Quality Bus Partnership
