The Leader of the Council introduced the report. He said that this report came every year and was an update on the activities of the outside bodies. He said that the report was also recommending that an outside body review be undertaken to make sure the list was up to date.

Councillor Crystall proposed that the recommendations in the report be supported. Councillor Swainston seconded the proposal.

Councillor Clements asked how Members would know about any changes made.

Councillor Crystall said the review would not be cutting the membership of the outside bodies but would be looking at those that had now become redundant.

Councillor Andrews asked for assurance that the individuals on the outside bodies would not be changed.

Councillor Crystall confirmed that it was a refresh and looking at the bodies members were appointed to.

Councillor Hollebon believed that the Stansted Airport Community Trust had been disbanded.

Councillor Crystall thanked Councillor Hollebon for the information and asked Members to let him know if they knew of any other changes to outside bodies to assist in the review.

The motion to support the recommendations having been proposed and seconded was put to the meeting and upon a vote being taken, was declared CARRIED.

        RESOLVED –That (A) the reports of Members appointed to Outside Bodies for the 2023-24 civic year be received and noted; and

(B) a review of Outside Bodies for 2024/25 be undertaken and reported back at a future Council meeting.
