To consider the attached Notice of Motion submitted by Councillor R Menlove and seconded by Councillor P Whiteley.

A Notice of Motion, submitted by Councillor R Menlove and seconded by Councillor P Whiteley had been submitted, as detailed below. 

“I hereby move that the Council instigates a Community Governance Review for the unparished areas of Wilmslow, Handforth and Styal in total, to meet the emerging operating requirements of Cheshire East Council for the provision of locally-managed services; the Review to consider the recommendations that –

-                      a new parish be constituted under Section 87 of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007

-                      the new parish should have a parish council to be known as “Wilmslow and Handforth Town Council”

-                      the area to which the review is to relate, be defined as shown on the map (attached to the Notice of Motion) being the Electoral Wards of Dean Row, Fulshaw, Handforth, Hough, Lacey Green and Morley and Styal.”

It was reported that although Councillor Menlove was not at the meeting, he had written indicating his willingness to withdraw the Notice of Motion, dependent on the outcome of the above item (Community Governance Review – Wilmslow, Handforth and Styal). Councillor P Whiteley, the second signatory to the Motion consented to the Notice of Motion being withdrawn in the light of the decision made at Minute No. 141 above.

The Mayor, therefore, agreed that the Notice of Motion be withdrawn and provided her written conformation to that effect.
