Background:

This report requested Cabinet to agree to the establishment of Cabinet Advisory Groups (CAGs) for 2023/24. It explained that the new Administration had reviewed the previous list of CAGs and had proposed that all CAGs, except the Corporate Parenting Board and Town Centres Board, would not be re-established for 2023/24.

The Medway Skills Partnership Board, Medway SEND Partnership Board and Medway Youth Justice Partnership Board, would continue to meet but would no longer be categorised as Cabinet Advisory Groups.

The report also proposed the establishment of two Member working groups on Climate Change and on the Local Plan.
