To consider supporting an application by Cheshire East Council for the North West Charter on Elected Member Development (Level One).          

The Committee considered a proposed application by Cheshire East Council for the North West Charter on Elected Member Development (Level One).          

The North West Charter on Elected Member Development was a regionally recognised standard for Member Development and was the minimum level to which a high performing Council, such as Cheshire East Council, should seek to achieve. By signing up to the principles of the Charter, the Council would be setting a high standard which could be built upon in subsequent years.       

RESOLVED

That

(1)   Cheshire East Council sign the Declaration of Commitment to the principles of the North West Charter on Elected Member Development; and 

(2)   a signing ceremony be arranged; invitations to attend to be extended to the Leader of the Council, Chief Executive and Group Leaders.
