Decision:

Resolved

 

(1)        That Councillor Dr Kerrie Thornhill be appointed to the Banbury Traffic Advisory Committee to replace Councillor Dr Chukwudi Okeke.

Reasons for the decision:

Following a change in membership of the Labour Group, it is necessary to amend the Labour Nominee to the Banbury Traffic Advisory Committee.

 

It is also necessary to amend the nominee to the Oxfordshire Local Nature Partnership as we have been advised by the Leader that he holds this role. Councillor Tom Beckett was nominated in error. 

Alternative options considered:

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

 

Option 1: Not to amend the representatives to the outside bodies. This is not recommended, as the Labour Group would not have a nominee to Banbury Traffic Advisory Committee and the record would show incorrect information relating to the Oxfordshire Local Nature Partnership.

None.
