Supporting Information

1.1       The County Council is invited to appoint Members (and in some cases non-County Councillors are eligible) to serve on a range of outside bodies whose role has a relationship to a function of the County Council. The appointments are a vital part of the County Council’s working in partnership with voluntary sector bodies, statutory agencies and the public and private sectors. Some priority appointments were made to outside bodies by the County Council at its meeting on 25 May 2021.

1.2       Attached at Appendix 1 is a schedule of the organisations to which appointments are to be made and the number of places to be filled for each body. In making appointments the Committee may wish to consider the issue of continuity.  Where no names are mentioned, it can be assumed that the position is currently vacant.

1.3       Unless otherwise stated appointments are made for a four year period ending in June 2025.  Nominations have been sought from each political and independent group and a list of nominations received is set out in Appendix 1.

2.         Recommendation
