Minutes:

The Committee considered the report of Mrs Angela Woodhouse, the Head of Policy, Communications and Governance, which followed a request by Members to provide further information on conducting a community governance review.

 

Mrs Woodhouse confirmed that there had been no requests from Parishes or Councillors for the Council to undertake a review.

 

Following a question from a Member, Mrs Woodhouse advised that should a community governance review be undertaken there would be significant cost implications as a consultation would need to be undertaken with every household affected.

 

Members made the following comments:-

 

·  If there was a mood for change then it should come from the bottom up.

·  The cost implications were significant.

·  There was not an appetite for any changes to be made at this time.

RESOLVED:  That no further action be taken to undertake a review.
