RESOLVED

 

That Council approves the changes
to political balance set out in Appendix A
to the report, inclusive of the
revised allocation of seats for the committees to the recognised
political groups, and in accordance with statutory proportionality
requirements and the Constitution. 

 

 

Reason for Recommendations –
To ensure that the revised political balance of the Council is
applied to the governance structure of the Council, in accordance
with law and approved guidelines contained in the Council
Constitution. 

 

Alternative Options Considered
–

•       
The revised political balance
calculation is required to be reported to full Council under the
Local Government and Housing Act 1989 and Local Government
(Committees and Political Groups) Regulations 1990.

•       
Council may depart from the
political balance requirements as set out in this report, but only
if no member present votes against the resolution - in accordance
with the law.
