6 Cabinet Advisory Groups PDF 94 KB
Minutes:
Background:
This report provided a review of the various Cabinet Advisory Groups and sought the re-establishment of a number of Groups for 2015/2016. The report noted that these Groups did not have any decision making powers and could consist of both executive and non-executive Councillors.
The report recommended that the Airport Proposals, the International Economic Development and the Local Transport Plan Cabinet Advisory Groups should not be re-established for 2015/2016 as they were not considered necessary at this time. Proposals to establish a new group called the Strood Regeneration Board were also set out in the report.
