Minutes:

The Board considered the Outside Bodies and Working Groups reports attached to the agenda.

 

It was proposed that the Area Board reconstituted the working groups of the Area Board and appointed working group representatives and members to outside bodies as detailed in the reports.

 

Cllr Simon Jacobs was to resign as an additional representative from the Outside Body, Devizes Development Partnership due to a potential conflict of interest with his new role as Portfolio Holder for Finance and Procurement.

 

Cllr Philip Whitehead would be resigning as a representative from the Outside Body, Devizes Leisure Centre Group, due to his new role as Leader of the Council. As a replacement, Cllr Peter Evans was appointed to the Outside Body, Devizes Leisure Centre Group.

 

The Outside Body, the Local Youth Network and the Working Group, the LYN Management Group, were to be merged and going forward were to be a Working Group called the Local Youth Network (LYN).

 

Cllr Laura Mayes was appointed the new lead member for the Working Group, the Local Youth Network (LYN), with Cllr Simon Jacobs as the second member.

 

The Working Groups, CATG and Air Quality and Transport Strategy were to be run in tandem going forward. The groups would still have separate budgets but would have complimentary agendas in the hope that more aims of both groups could be achieved.

 

Cllr Richard Gamble was appointed as the lead member for CATG and the Air Quality and Transport Strategy Group with Cllr Peter Evans as the second member as required. 

 

Cliff Evans was re-appointed Health and Wellbeing Chairman.

 

Keith Brindle was appointed Health and Wellbeing Vice-Chairman.
