To consider the practical implications that flow from the grant of borough status and to agree a consistent approach to the use of the word ‘borough’.

Consideration was given to the practical implications arising from the grant of borough status, and to the application of a consistent approach to the use of the word ‘borough’.  The report detailed the circumstances under which this applied, namely when failure to do so could bring into question the legal authority to take action.

RESOLVED

For the reasons set out in the report: -

1. That approval be given to the use of the name Cheshire East Council if required to be used for any purpose except in the circumstances at 2 below.

2. That the name Cheshire East Borough Council be used where on the advice of the Borough Solicitor it is appropriate to protect the Council’s legal position.
