Minutes:

Council considered a report seeking appointments to the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority for the municipal year 2021/22 and authorising the Chief Executive to make any amendments to the appointments if required before the next Combined Authority council meeting.

 

The Chair drew Members’ attention to a correction notified by the Combined Authority following publication of the agenda, indicating that the political proportionality had been revised. The change meant the recommendation in respect of nominations to the Combined Authority’s Overview and Scrutiny Committee would be for two members of the Liberal Democrat party.

 

The Chair proposed the motion as amended by the supplementary report circulated to Members. The Vice Chair seconded the motion.
