MEMBERSHIP OF POLITICAL GROUPS ON THE COUNCIL, POLITICAL BALANCE AND ENTITLEMENT TO SEATS
To report on the establishment of political groups, the political balance of the Council and the entitlement of each group to seats on the authority’s committees.
Minutes:
Councillor Read proposed the report asking all to check the nominations listed in Appendix B of the Mayor’s Letter. He noted that a further report would be brought to the October meeting to reflect the changes required after the recent by-election.
The report was seconded by Councillor Allen.
Resolved: That Council:
1. Noted the political balance of the Council has changed due to changes in the number of Conservative, Non-aligned members and the creation of a new Conservative Independent Group which took place in May 2023.
2. That the entitlement of the membership of the political groups was agreed and such entitlements be reflected in Council’s appointments of members to committees as detailed in the Mayor’s Letter.
3. That the nomination for the Local Pension Board Rotational Member and Transport for the North Audit & Governance Committee was agreed as detailed in the Mayor’s Letter.
