Report from the Leader of the Council
16.1 The Leader of the Council indicated that, as part of the Constitution, he was required to report at the Annual Council meeting on the number of Lead Members, and the scope of their Portfolios for the coming year, and any other matters in relation to the political management of the Council. He proposed that the number of Lead Members increase from nine to 11 with a Support Member for each and these were set out on the chart which had been circulated around the table. He indicated that this would reflect the change of the make-up of the Council and promote the Council’s long-held tradition of working effectively together irrespective of political labels; it should also help to spread the workload more evenly, taking account of the significant changes to the Council’s priorities.
16.2 Accordingly, it was
RESOLVED 1. That the Leader’s report be NOTED.
2. That the number of Lead Members be increased from nine to 11 with the names of Lead Members and their portfolios being as set out below:
· Councillor R A Bird – Leader / Economic Development/Promotion.
· Councillor G F Blackwell – Housing.
· Councillor M Dean – Customer Focus.
· Councillor L A Gerrard – Organisational Development.
· Councillor M A Gore – Built Environment.
