Reasons for the decision:

Council agreed that there should be TDC representation on Executive Appointed Outside Bodies as listed in Annex 1 to the Cabinet report. Their main objective is to represents the interests of the Council.

Alternative options considered:

Not appointing TDC representatives to the listed Outside Bodies. This would not have been an appropriate decision because Full Council agreed that the Council’s interests would better be served by engaging in activities with Outside Bodies in order to enhance the public interests of Thanet District.
