Purpose:

Content: That Council grants a dispensation to Councillor Malcolm Waters from attending meetings of the Council for a six-month period by reason of illness.   Reason for Decision: ·         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: ·         That Council decides not to approve the dispensation. This was not recommended as the reasons for it are considered reasonable and failure to grant would result in Councillor Malcolm Waters ceasing to be a member of North Northamptonshire Council.
