Cllr. Fleming proposed and Cllr. Mrs Davison seconded that the proposed amendments to the Constitution contained in the report circulated with the agenda be agreed.

Resolved:

(a) that the provisions contained in paragraphs 3.1 and 3.2 of Part 6 of the Constitution and paragraphs 5.7 and 5.8 of Part 5 of the Constitution relating to the Chairmanship and Vice-Chairmanship of the Performance & Governance Committee and the Select Committees be deleted for the reasons outlined in the report;

(b) that paragraph 4(h) of Part 6 of the Constitution be deleted to remove the overview of the Council’s Constitution from the remit of the Performance and Governance Committee to avoid duplication with the role of the Modern Local Government Group; and

(c) that paragraph 4(a) of Part 6 of the Constitution be deleted as there is no longer a need to consider the Comprehensive Area Self Assessment Self Improvement Plan.
