Decision

I have considered the nominations received from Councillors for appointments to the various outside bodies outlined in Annex B; and determined the appointments taking into account nominations received and matters raised in paragraph 4 of the report.

Reasons for the decision

These are external bodies that have requested a Councillor representative - we have considered these requests as an administration and invited opposition members to submit nomination requests for areas of interest.

Alternative options considered

There are limited places across the external bodies and Councillors have been appointed according to interest and portfolio relevance.
