The Leader of the Council.

RESOLVED – that the Executive:

(i)               Considers each of the nominations to the Banstead Commons Conservators and elects two Conservators for the period April 2024 to March 2027 – Mr V Broad and Mr J Mill until March 2028.

The Portfolio Holder for Environment and Sustainability, Councillor Moses, introduced the report into the appointments to the Board of Banstead Commons Conservators. The Conservators maintain and protect the integrity of the Banstead Commons, a strategic part of the green belt in Reigate and Banstead.

The terms of two Conservators, Mr V W Broad and Mr J C Mill conclude in May this year. The Portfolio Holder thanked both for their service. Both candidates have renominated themselves to the vacant positions. Ms K Farmer also nominated herself to one of the conservator positions which are for a period of 3 years.

Banstead Commons Conservators have recommended that Mr V W Broad and Mr J C Mill be reappointed due to their wealth of knowledge on Banstead Commons and common land legislation and to ensure continuity.

The Executive went into exempt Part 2 session to consider the CVs of the three candidates which were published as an exempt annex.

Following a return to the public session, it was agreed that:
