Minutes:

The Committee considered the report of Mrs Angela Woodhouse, the Head of Policy, Communications and Governance which provided further information on a number of outside bodies that Members had asked to reconsider.

 

Councillor Vizzard declared that he was a Parish Council representative on the Medway Valley Line Steering Group which was one of the outside bodies to be considered at the meeting.

 

In response to Members’ comments, the Committee noted that the decision to be made related only to the four outside bodies on the papers and that the criteria should be applied as before in considering whether to retain or delete these outside bodies.   

 

Mrs Patricia Narebor, the Head of Legal Partnership advised Members that if they were to revisit the original recommendations it would compromise the process of the Committee.   She concluded that it was for the Committee to make a decision on just the four outside bodies listed in the report.

 

Councillor Mrs Ring asked for her dissent to be noted in regard to this.
