Summary

The Cheltenham council meeting was focused on the appointment of honorary titles to former councillors and distinguished citizens. Apologies were noted from Councillors Collings, Steinhardt, Barnes, and Oliver.

The first significant topic was the appointment of honorary Aldermen. The Chief Executive, Gareth, introduced the report recommending that former Councillors Babbage, Britta, Fisher, Flynn, and Seachem be conferred the title of honorary Alderman. This title is given to individuals who have rendered eminent services to the authority, typically requiring at least 16 years of service or having served as a past mayor or chair of the Council. Councillor Arwina proposed the motion, and Councillor Tabby Joy seconded it. The motion was passed after a vote.

The second topic was the appointment of honorary Freeman of the borough. The Chief Executive introduced the report recommending Leslie Bonney, Chun Kong, and Michael Ratcliffe, MBE, for this title, recognizing their eminent and distinguished service to the borough of Cheltenham. Councillor Arwina proposed the motion, and Councillor Tabby Joy seconded it. The motion was passed after a vote.

The meeting concluded with no further business.
