Consideration was given to the report which presented the nominations received for appointments to outside bodies. Outside bodies were external organisations which had requested that the Council appoint a representative to them. Outside bodies had separate governance structures to the Council. Appointments to outside bodies could be an important mechanism for community leadership, partnership and joint working and knowledge and information sharing.

The Council’s Constitution stated that Cabinet was responsible for the appointments to Outside Bodies. This report presented the nominations received and recommended the appointment of the nominees to the various organisations and partnerships. Details of the appointments were attached in Appendix 1 to the report.

During the meeting the Leader confirmed the following:

• Councillor Sheppard was to be appointed to the vacancy on Rotherham Allotment Alliance.
• Councillor Baker-Rogers was to be appointed to the vacancy on the Local Government Association – General Assembly.
• Councillor McKiernan was to be appointed to the vacant role of Director at the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation.
