Officer Scheme of Delegation: 1.29 Appointments to Committees

A review of the allocation of committee seats was undertaken in accordance with Section 15 (1) of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 following recent changes in political balance. The review concluded that the Conservative Group were entitled to an additional seat on the Employment Committee. The Group Leader for the Conservative Group has notified the Proper Officer of the name of the member to fill this seat. The Officer Scheme of Delegation provides authority for such changes to be enacted.

Appoint Councillor Schofield to the Employment Committee.

1. The walkway along Waterhouse Lane toward Kingswood Village Hall be so named ‘Spiers Walk’ in posthumous recognition of former Councillor Joan Spiers.
2. The outdoor gym and refurbished playground in Nork Park be named in posthumous recognition of former Councillor Brian Stead.

Consequently, it is necessary for an enabling exemption to be granted by the Leader of the Council, to the street naming and numbering policy.

That an exemption to the Street Naming and Numbering Policy be granted in order to satisfy the Council’s resolution of 10 December 2020, in posthumous recognition of former Councillors Spiers and Stead.
