Cheshire East Local Access Forum

Meeting: 20/03/2013 - Outside Organisations Sub-Committee (Item 59)

Cheshire East Local Access Forum

To note the following :-

 

Councillor Rhoda Bailey was the elected member on the Cheshire Local Access Forum, a statutory advisory body to the Cheshire East Council and Cheshire West and Chester Council.  Cheshire West and Chester Council gave notice of their intention to withdraw from the joint Forum in order to set up their own Forum, to match the Council’s geographic area.  Therefore, a Cheshire East Local Access Forum has been established. It is intended to appoint less than 16 members and it is, therefore, considered appropriate to appoint one Councillor from Cheshire East. The Leader of the Conservative Group has indicated that he wishes Cllr Rhoda Bailey to continue as the Council’s representative.

Minutes:

The Sub-Committee was asked to note that for some time Councillor Rhoda Bailey had been the elected member on the Cheshire Local Access Forum, a statutory advisory body to the Cheshire East Council and Cheshire West and Chester Council. 

 

Cheshire West and Chester Council had, however, given notice of their intention to withdraw from the joint Forum in order to set up their own which would match its geographic area. A Cheshire East Local Access Forum had, therefore, also been established to which it was intended to appoint less than 16 members.  It was considered appropriate to appoint one Councillor from Cheshire East and the Leader of the Conservative Group had indicated that he wished Cllr Rhoda Bailey to continue as the Council’s representative.

 

RESOLVED

 

That Councillor Rhoda Bailey be approved as this Councils representative on the newly formed Cheshire East Local Access Forum.
