Issue - meetings

Prior to consideration of agenda Item 7 (Notice of Motion), it was proposed that the Order of Business to be dealt with by the meeting of Council be revised to enable Item 7 to be taken after Item 12 (Urgent Items of Business). 

The motion at Item 7 related to the proposed Community Governance Review for the unparished areas of Wilmslow, Handforth and Styal.  The Governance and Constitution Committee had met earlier in the day and its recommendations had been circulated to Members in the form of an extract from the minutes of the meeting. The recommendations were relevant to the Notice of Motion at Item 7, and it was, therefore, appropriate to postpone consideration of the Notice of Motion until Council had considered the recommendations of the Committee.

The Mayor agreed that –

(A)       In accordance with the provisions of Section 100B(4)(b) of the Local Government Act 1972, in view of :

-                      the Notice of Motion on the agenda (Item 7),

-                      the timescale which applied to the conducting of any Community Governance Review which may be required, and

-                      the fact that the Governance and Constitution Committee had only today made its recommendations to Council

the Community Governance Review (Wilmslow, Handforth and Styal) be considered as an urgent item of business under Item 12 on the agenda; and

(B)       The reasons be recorded in the minutes.

RESOLVED

That

Agenda Item 7 (Notice of Motion) be dealt with following agenda item 12 (Urgent Items of Business).
