Resolved:

 

 

1.  That Councillor Carter asks the Councillor Development Group to consider inviting all Town and Parish Councillors (and Clerks) to attend the development sessions it organises as and when appropriate. The Councillor Development Group would have to consider the best ways to advertise these sessions to all Town and Parish Councils and relevant financial arrangements.  Also to ask the Councillor Development Group consider as a priority inviting all Town and Parish Councillors (and Clerks) to attend development sessions on Chairmanship skills; Conflict Management; Mediation and Equalities and Diversities. Again the Councillor Development Group would have to consider the best ways to advertise these sessions to all Town and Parish Councils and relevant financial arrangements.

 

 

2.  That a report be brought to the next meeting of the committee detailing the membership of Wiltshire Association of Local Councils (WALC), what, if any, training evaluation has been carried out by WALC for Town and Parish Councils and if there is already any partnership working between Wiltshire Council and WALC.
