The scrutiny committee received a report of the Committee and Scrutiny Officer which required members to approve the Community Safety Partnership Task Group’s membership, appoint a chair and agree the updated terms of reference.

It was noted that there had been an over-subscription to the task group.  There had been eight people nominated for seven places.  The chair suggested that each councillor be contacted, informed of the situation and asked whether they wished to withdraw their nomination.  This was agreed.

Councillor Williams proposed that Councillor Grimston be appointed as the task group’s chair if she remained a member.

RESOLVED –

1.      that the Committee and Scrutiny Officer contacts all nominated councillors for the Community Safety Partnership Task Group about the over-subscription to ask if anyone wishes to withdraw their nomination.

2.      that Councillor Amanda Grimston be appointed as chair of the Community Safety Partnership Task Group, if she continues to be a member of the task group.

3.      that the updated terms of reference be agreed as set out in Appendix 1 of the report.
