Members are asked to consider and agree the proposed text of the leaflet to be used for the first stage of public consultation. This has been revised and updated following comments made at the previous meeting.

Members considered the proposed text of the leaflet to be used for the first stage of public consultation. The text had been revised following comments made at the previous meeting.

The following amendments to the leaflet were agreed:

§  The Make it Macclesfield Forum should be included in the  ‘No Change’ section.

§  The leaflet should make it clear that in the event of no change to the existing governance arrangements, Cheshire East Council would remain responsible for all local authority services within the unparished area.

§  The leaflet should set out the implications for the Macclesfield Charter Trustees under the different governance options.

Members felt that, as with previous reviews, two versions of the leaflet should be produced: one very brief and to the point, and another containing more detail for those seeking further information.

RESOLVED

That the leaflet be amended as agreed and the Chairman be authorised to approve the final version.
