To receive updates and note feedback from the Standards Board Annual Conference held in Birmingham on 13 and 14
October 2008.
Minutes:
The Committee considered a report of the Governance Group on the Standards Board Annual Conference held in Birmingham on 13 and 14 October. The conference had been attended by the Interim Monitoring Officer and Councillor John Goddard who was a Member of both Cheshire East Standards Committee and Macclesfield’ s Standards Committee.
One of the key messages from the conference was the need for Standards Committees to seek to raise the profile of their work both within the organisation and in the public arena. Examples from other Local Authorities included regular meetings held between the Chairman of the Standards Committee and the Leader of the Council.
RESOLVED: That the report be noted.
