Issue - meetings

Cabinet considered the Leader’s nominees for appointment to Executive Outside Bodies. Council agreed the list of Executive Outside Bodies and the number of councillors to be appointed to them, at its Annual meeting on 18 May 2023. Although the Council agreed on a longer list, Cabinet agreed not to appoint to all of the bodies as the Council was now aware that some of the bodies had changed their membership requirements or no longer wish to be considered as outside bodies. A report reviewing the list of outside bodies would be considered at the next Full Council meeting.

Councillor Davis spoke under Council Procedure 20.1.

Councillor Everitt proposed, Councillor Keen seconded and Cabinet agreed the list of nominations to the Executive-related outside bodies as shown at Annex 1 to the cabinet report and as detailed below.
