To consider a request from the Members representing the unparished area of Macclesfield to establish a Macclesfield Members Forum pending the outcome of the Community Governance Review for Macclesfield.

The Committee considered a request from Members representing the unparished area of Macclesfield that a Macclesfield Members Forum be established pending the outcome of the Community Governance Review for Macclesfield.

Macclesfield Members currently felt they did not have a collective voice to make representations to the Council concerning issues affecting Macclesfield residents or the public services provided to them. They believed that the current Local Service Delivery Committee terms of reference precluded them from discussing wider issues relating to Macclesfield.

RESOLVED

That the Committee receive a further report at its next meeting, reviewing the terms of reference of the Macclesfield Local Service Delivery Committee following informal consultation with members of that Committee.
