RESOLVED
 

That Council granted a
dispensation for Councillor Christina Smith-Haynes from attending
meetings of the Council for a six-month period by reason of
illness.

 

 
Reason for Recommendations – Pursuant to
Section 85 of the Local Government Act 1972 where a
Councillor fails to attend any meeting of the Council for six
months, they cease to be a Member of the Council unless a
dispensation has been granted by the Council.

 

Other Options Considered – Council could not approve the
dispensation. This is not recommended as the reasons for it are
considered reasonable and failure to grant would result in
Councillor Christina Smith-Haynes ceasing to be a member of North
Northamptonshire Council.
