Decision details

To appoint representatives to the Banbury and Bicester Traffic Advisory Committees, further to the delegation to the Assistant Director Law and Governance at Executive, 10 June 2025, minute 10.

Resolved

(1)        That Councillors Chris Brant and Dr Chukwudi Okeke be appointed to the Banbury Traffic Advisory Committee

(2)        That Councillors John Broad, Frank Ideh and Chris Pruden be appointed to the Bicester Traffic Advisory Committee

Delegation to the Assistant Director Law and Governance, in consultation with the Leader provides flexibility for the remainder of the Municipal Year to appoint to any outstanding vacancies, or if amendments are required to any appointments, and ensures they are made in a timely manner.

The following alternative options have been identified and rejected for the reasons as set out below.

Option 1: Not to appoint representatives to outside bodies, partnerships and as Member Champions. This is not recommended as the internal working groups would be ineffective and the Council would not be represented on these outside bodies and could miss valuable information and opportunities.
