The Leader of the Council advised the Cabinet that he felt that the Cabinet should re-establish the Members’ Affairs Group as this had been a useful vehicle for providing wider insight for the Cabinet from across the Council membership on a number of projects. The Group would be convened as and when necessary with a broad remit to look at issues of interest to Members and “housekeeping” issues such as the Member’s Portal and the new committee management system. The Leader of the Council would liaise with the Portfolio Holder for Safe Community and the other Group Leaders over the membership of the Group as appropriate.

Resolved: That the Members’ Affairs Group should be re-established with the membership to be agreed by the Leader of the Council and the Portfolio Holder for Safe Community, in consultation with the other Group Leaders, and that the Group should be convened as and when necessary.
