The Eastern Wiltshire Area Committee meeting scheduled for Tuesday 19 May 2026 was set to address procedural matters, including the appointment of a Chair and Vice-Chair for the upcoming year. The committee also had the minutes from the previous year's meeting listed for review.
Appointment of Chairman and Vice-Chairman
The meeting's agenda included the appointment of a Chairman and Vice-Chairman for the forthcoming year. The report pack outlines the procedure for these elections, which involves nominations, secondments, and voting by show of hands. In the event of a tie, a method such as drawing lots would be used to determine the winner. The newly elected Chairman would then preside over the election of the Vice-Chairman.
Minutes of the Previous Meeting
The committee was scheduled to review and approve the minutes from the previous meeting held on 20 May 2025.
Substitution Arrangements
The agenda also detailed the substitution arrangements for the Marlborough, Pewsey, and Tidworth Area Boards. These arrangements specified which members could act as substitutes for absent members on each of these area boards.
