Decision:
That the absence of Councillors Alex Aldridge and Alison Halford be approved until the end of the life of this Council.
Minutes:
The Chief Officer (Governance) introduced a report to seek the Council’s approval for the continued absence of two Members. He explained that where a Member had been, or it is likely that they will be absent from a meeting for a period of six months, the Council is able to approve the absence. He advised that two Members were currently in a position where they had not been able to attend a meeting for several months and it was therefore recommended that the Council approve their absences until the end of the life of this Council.
On being put to the vote, Members voted unanimously in favour of the recommendations.
RESOLVED:
That the absence of Councillors Alex Aldridge and Alison Halford be approved until the end of the life of this Council.
