Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on Rushmoor and are not the council. About us

The Licensing and Corporate Business Committee of Rushmoor Council was scheduled to discuss the performance review of the Council's Head of Paid Service and consider the appointment of Honorary Aldermen. The meeting was also set to address the exclusion of the public for a specific agenda item.

Head of Paid Service Performance Review

A key item on the agenda was the consideration of a report from the cross-party Member Assessment Panel. This panel had convened on 24th June 2026 to conduct a performance review of the Council's Head of Paid Service. The report was expected to cover the permanent appointment of this role and future performance review arrangements. Following the review of this report, the Committee was scheduled to consider the remuneration for the Head of Paid Service.

Exclusion of the Public

The Committee was also scheduled to consider a resolution to exclude the public from a portion of the meeting. This exclusion would be implemented if the public interest test was met, with the aim of avoiding the disclosure of exempt information. The specific item for which public exclusion was being considered related to information concerning an individual, as outlined in Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972.

Update on Honorary Aldermen Appointment

An update was scheduled to be received regarding the appointment of Honorary Aldermen. This verbal update would follow proposals that had been made by the Committee at a previous meeting on 16th June.
