Minutes:
Following consultation with Parish/Town Councils and the Parish Partnership Panel at the latter end of 2023, the report of the Interim Chief Executive confirmed parish/town representatives for the Joint Standards Committee. The Chair of the Committee and the Monitoring Officer had also been consulted upon the proposals.
A revised ‘pool’ of parish and town council representatives was set out in Annex 1 together with proposed voting allocations for 2024-26. It was confirmed that not being assigned voting rights didn’t prevent parish/town representatives from participating in meetings of the Committee but removed confusion around voting.
RESOLVED: That
(1) the revised ‘pool’ for parish and town council representatives (set out in Annex 1) be noted;
(2) the voting allocations for 2024-26 (as set out in Annex 1) and duplicated below be endorsed:
|
2024/25
|
Burham, Ditton, Hadlow, Platt, Plaxtol and Ryarsh; |
|
2025/26 |
Addington, Aylesford, Borough Green, East Peckham, Kings Hill and Trottiscliffe;
|
|
2026/27 |
Snodland, Wrotham and 4 vacancies

Minutes:
The report of the Principal Democratic Services Officer confirmed parish/town council representatives for the Joint Standards Committee and allocated voting rights for the period 2024-2025, as set out in Annex 1.
In response to a question regarding substitutes for parish/town council voting members, the Panel was advised that whilst this was supported in principle the use of substitute members would need to be agreed by the Joint Standards Committee, by the Borough Council’s Full Council and at each Parish Council.
RECOMMENDED*: That
(1) The revised ‘pool’ of parish and town council representatives and the voting allocations for 2024 – 2025 (as set out at Annex 1) be endorsed by the Joint Standards Committee at its first meeting in 2024; and
(2) Options for the use of substitute parish/town council voting representatives be investigated and presented to the Joint Standards Committee for consideration in due course.
*Recommended to Joint Standards Committee
