To consider a proposal to initiate a review of the Council’s Constitution.

The Committee considered a proposed programme of work for reviewing the Council’s Constitution.

Whilst Members acknowledged that it would be neither appropriate, nor necessary, to review the whole of the Constitution, there were certain key areas of the document which they felt would merit attention. A proposed work programme and timetable was set out as an Appendix to the report.

RESOLVED

That

(1)   the report be noted; and

(2)   the programme of work and timetable for the review of the Constitution as set out in the Appendix be approved subject to the correction of the dates therein and to the inclusion of a review of the provisions relating to Local Area Partnerships.
