Agenda item

To consider the Joint Report of the Chief Executive and Monitoring Officer (to follow).

 

To allocate the seats on the committees of the Council to the different political groups, and the non-aligned member, and to appoint members to those committees in accordance with the allocation.

 

 

The Democratic and Corporate Services Manager presented the Review of the Allocation of Seats to Political Groups 2021-22.

 

Members were advised that the Conservative Group and the Non-Aligned Member had agreed to swap seat entitlement on the Governance Committee and Planning Committee respectively. This would constitute a variation and would need to be agreed without a vote against it.

 

It was moved by Councillor P D Jull, duly seconded by Councillor O C de R Richardson, and

·         Dover Joint Transportation Board
