That the nominations made by the Group Leaders to the bodies listed in Appendix 2 of the previous agenda item, be agreed.

Consideration was given to a report reviewing the memberships of the Council’s decision-making bodies, listed in Appendix 2 of the previous agenda item.

The Political Groups had reviewed their nominations and an appendix to the report, providing details of the political groups’ nominations of Members to the various bodies was circulated at the meeting.

In proposing the nominations the Leader of the Council reported that, in view of the fact that Cllr J Clowes had now been appointed as a Cabinet Support Member, she would no longer be a member of the Children and Families Scrutiny Committee and a member/Vice-chairman of the Health and Wellbeing Scrutiny Committee. The Leader would notify the Borough Solicitor of her replacement.

The Labour group notified the replacement of Cllr L Jeuda with Cllr A Harewood on the Local Service Delivery (Macclesfield) Committee.

The Liberal Democrat Group notified the filling of the Liberal Democrat vacancy on the Standards Committee, by Cllr R Fletcher.

It was also reported that, with effect from 15 July 2011, Cllr D Flude was the Leader of the Labour Group and Cllr J Jackson was the Deputy Leader of the Labour Group.

The above changes have been incorporated into an appendix to the report, which is attached to these minutes.
