When the New Communities Portfolio Holder’s
meeting is held on the same day as the Planning Portfolio
Holder’s meeting, the New Communities Portfolio
Holder’s meeting will start at the time advertised or upon
completion of the Planning Portfolio Holder’s meeting,
whichever is the later.
The New
Communities Portfolio Holder has responsibility for:
Arts
Development of New Communities
Planning Policy
Sports
Sustainability
tackling Climate Change
2012 Olympics
Meetings are open to the public and all members of the Council
are invited to attend; Scrutiny and Overview Committee Monitors and
Opposition Spokesmen receive specific invitations to all meetings,
but attendance is not mandatory. Only
the Portfolio Holder has the authority to make any decisions, and
only the Portfolio Holder’s presence, or the Leader’s
presence if the Portfolio Holder is unable to attend, is required
for the meeting to be quorate.
