Consideration was given to a report from the Leader of Council detailing the proposed allocation of Portfolio responsibilities to the Shadow Council’s individual Cabinet Members. It was not intended at this stage to empower individual Members to take Executive decisions. Unless and until any further constitutional changes take place, such decisions would continue to be taken collectively by the Cabinet.
The appendix to the report set out details of the services for which Cabinet members were to be responsible together with key dependencies where the lead was a different Portfolio Holder. The Leader of the Council would not have specific Portfolio responsibilities.
It was RESOLVED -
1 Portfolios of responsibility be allocated to the Shadow Council’s Cabinet Members in accordance with the Appendix to the Leader’s report and as follows:
§ Children and Family Services: Councillor Paul Findlow
§ Adult Services: Councillor Roland Domleo
§ Health and Wellbeing: Councillor Andrew Knowles
§ Environmental Services: Councillor David Brickhill
§ Prosperity: Councillor Jamie Macrae
§ Safer and Stronger Communities: Councillor Brian Silvester
§ Resources: Councillor Frank Keegan
§ Procurement, Assets and Shared Services: Councillor Peter Mason
§ Performance and Capacity: Councillor David Brown
2 the Interim Monitoring Officer be authorised to make appropriate consequential changes to the Shadow Council’s Constitution in order to reflect the allocation of Portfolio responsibilities.
(Note: During discussion of this item, Councillor D Flude declared a personal interest on the grounds that she was a member of the Alzheimer’s Society, Crossroads Care and Independent Advocacy.)
