Recommending:

That the Council note the following revised appointments of the Leader, as the Council’s representatives on various bodies established by the Local Strategic Partnership for the remainder of the 2019/20 municipal year:

(a)       Health and Wellbeing Board – Councillor A. Patel, Councillor N. Bedford;

(b)       Economic Board – Councillor A. Patel; and

(c)       Tourism Board – Councillor R. Bassett;

At its meeting on 30 July 2019, the Council noted the appointment by the Leader of the Council of member representatives to external organisations for the 2019/20 municipal year. However, a number of appointments to various bodies established by the Local Strategic Partnership have since been reviewed.

The appointment of members to external organisations carrying out executive functions is a matter reserved to the Leader of the Council. The Council is therefore requested to note the appointments made by the Leader of the Council to the respective Local Strategic Partnership bodies for the remainder of the 2019/20 municipal year.

Although the Council also noted the appointment by the Leader of Councillor J. Jennings as a representative on the Epping Forest Children’s Partnership, at its last meeting, the Service Director (Community and Partnership Services) has since advised that the Children’s Partnership has been disbanded by the Local Strategic Partnership and that such appointment was not required for 2019/20.
