Issue - meetings

To date, Cllr E J Heron has been this Council’s representative on the Partnership Board, in his role as the Member for the Downlands and Forest Ward.  The County Council has recently appointed him to the Board as their representative and it is therefore opportune to appoint a substitute to represent this Council.

RECOMMENDED:

That Cllr Mrs Matcham be appointed to serve as this Council’s representative on the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Partnership Board in place of Cllr E J Heron.

RESOLVED:

That Cllr Mrs Matcham be appointed to serve as this Council’s representative on the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Partnership Board in place of Cllr E J Heron.

Cllr E J Heron disclosed a non-pecuniary interest as this Council’s former representative, and the County Council’s current representative on this body.  He concluded that there were no grounds under common law to prevent him from remaining in the meeting to speak and to vote.

RESOLVED:

That Cllr Mrs Matcham be appointed to serve as this Council’s representative on the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Partnership Board in place of Cllr E J Heron.
