Minutes:
The Senior Scrutiny Officer informed the Committee that Members would be given an opportunity at the next meeting of this Committee to comment upon a report due to be considered by the Constitution Committee on the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007. This act required local authorities to choose one of two new models of executive leadership: either a directly-elected Mayor and Cabinet, or a strong Leader and Cabinet style of governance. The report would, amongst other things, also explain arrangements for the election of mayors.
RESOLVED – That a report be submitted on the new Executive arrangements to the next meeting of the Committee on 12 October 2010.
