Issue - meetings

A report was submitted to Cabinet seeking nominations for two Elected Members to represent the Borough Council on the Safer Neighbourhood Panels for Newcastle under Lyme.  The role of the Panel was set out in the report.

Members were advised that two thirds of the Panel would be members of the public and the membership would be refreshed every six months.

The Cabinet agreed that Councillors’ Kearon and Proctor be put forward as nominees to sit on the Panel.

Staffordshire County Council had made a verbal confirmation  that they had nominated a Member but, to date, there was no written confirmation.  In addition, the local Magistrates’ Bench would be putting in a nomination.

Resolved:              That the Safer Neighbourhood Panel be supported and

that Councillors’ Kearon and Proctor be nominated to sit on the Panel.
