The report invites Group Leaders to nominate substitute Members for the Joint Transportation Board.

The Group Leaders were invited to nominate substitute Members for the Joint Transportation Board in accordance with the new rules approved by the Council in February 2022 and in accordance with Paragraph 2.1 of Schedule 1 to the agreement with Kent County Council which expressly allowed for the Borough Council to appoint substitute members.

This proposal would ensure that each group would be able to deal with unexpected short-term absences of Joint Transportation Board members.

RESOLVED:  That

(1)             the appointment of up to 5 substitute members to the Joint Transportation Board, as nominated by Group Leaders in accordance with paragraph (ii) of the Rules (attached at Annex 1), be approved; and

(2)             details of these nominations be finalised with Democratic Services out of meeting
