Minutes:

The report of the Chief Executive provided information on the initial proposals for new Parliamentary constituency boundaries including the consultation process and background documents.  The report proposed that a dedicated meeting of the Electoral Review Working group consider the proposals in relation to the Borough and that a formal response to the consultation be submitted thereafter.

 

To allow for consideration of the proposals in relation to the new Parliamentary constituency boundaries to be taken in public, the Leader proposed an amendment to the recommendation as follows:

 

That the General Purposes Committee be invited to consider the proposals and delegated Authority be given to the Chief Executive, in consultation with the Leader and Deputy Leader, to thereafter submit the Council’s response to the Boundary Commission.

 

The proposal was duly seconded by Councillor Lettington and unanimously agreed.

 

RESOLVED: That the General Purposes Committee be invited to consider the proposals and delegated Authority be given to the Chief Executive, in consultation with the Leader and Deputy Leader, to thereafter submit the Council’s response to the Boundary Commission.
