Parish Council Representative's Report
To consider any report from the Feckenham Parish Council Representative on any matters of relevance to the Committee.
(Oral report)
Minutes:
The Feckenham Parish Council Representative apologised for her and the Deputy Parish Representative’s absence from the last meeting owing to work commitments.
She advised that Mr Wreide Poole was due to take over the role of Deputy Parish Representative and that he would hopefully be in a position to attend the next meeting of the Committee to observe.
She added that no complaints had been made against Feckenham Parish Councillors and that the Parish Council had adopted its own Code of Conduct. One dispensation had been granted to the Parish Councillors which had enabled them to discuss and vote on budget and precept matters.
The Chair asked how frequently the Parish Council met. The Parish Representative confirmed that this was usually 9 or 10 times a year. There were usually 7 Feckenham Parish Councillors, with 1 vacancy at present.
The Democratic Services Officer reminded the Parish Representative that the Parish Council was required to notify the Electoral Services team of any councillor change, including any resulting vacancies and co-options.
RESOLVED that
the Parish Council Representative’s report be noted.
