Minutes:
The Chairman confirmed that following changes in the number of seats held by individual political groups on the Council, a request had been received from the Leader of the Independent group for a review of the allocation of seats to political groups.
Accordingly, a report reviewing the allocation of seats on committees to political groups was presented for Council’s consideration.
It was noted that the political composition of the Council now stood at:
|
Name of Group |
No. of Councillors in Group |
|
Conservative Liberal Democrat Independent Labour Ungrouped Member |
59 23 11 4 1 |
Following consultation with the affected group leaders, a proposed draft scheme of committee places was presented. The net effect of the change in political group sizes is that the Independent Group gain one seat and the Liberal Democrat Group lose one seat.
Resolved:
(a) To note this report and the legal requirements.
(b) To confirm the aggregate number and the draft scheme of committee places available to members of the Council as set out in Appendix 2.
