Decision details

The committee considered the report which sought approval to amend and renew several general dispensations under the Localism Act 2011. 

The committee were supportive of the report and the proposed dispensations noting that the dispensations related only to elected members and co-opted members of Cheshire East Council. It was highlighted that Town and Parish Councils would need to consider any dispensations that they would need to put into place. Information had been shared with ChALC colleagues, which would be circulated to all Town and Parish Councils to raise awareness.

RESOLVED (unanimously):

That the Audit and Governance Committee

1.    Grant, for the period until the next report to the Committee after the local elections in 2027, the general dispensations for all elected and co-opted Members of Cheshire East Council as set out at paragraphs 7,8, 9 and 10 of the report.
