Issue - meetings

To consider a report providing further information on the powers contained in the Constitution, which allow urgent decisions to be made.

Consideration was given to a report giving further information on the powers contained in the Constitution which allowed urgent decisions to be made.  The present process as set out in the Constitution of the Council was explained, and the legal position whereby powers to delegate functions of the full Council were derived from Section 101 of the Local Government Act 1972. 

The Committee was keen for urgent decision making to rest with elected Members, whilst still reflecting the need to respond in an urgent manner, and asked for a further report to be prepared for consideration at the next meeting of the Committee,

RESOLVED

1. that a further report be considered at the next meeting of the Committee.
