Report of the Town Clerk.
Minutes:
The Committee considered a report of the Town Clerk, inviting Members to appoint their sub committees for 2019/20. The Town Clerk invited the Committee to consider the report of the Town Clerk relating to the appointment of sub committees. The Chairman waived the maximum membership listed against each group to encourage greater Member participation. It was noted that the Consultative Committees and Groups would continue with its membership for the previous year with the exception of the Epping Forest Consultative Committee to which Caroline Haines was additionally appointed and the Burnham Beeches and Stoke Common Consultation Group to which Alderman Robert Hughes-Penney was additionally appointed.
A Member of the Committee commented that during the recent committee visit to Epping Forest on the 11th of May Members visited the Suntrap Visitor Centre and suggested that the Epping Forest Joint Consultative Committee consider establishing a relationship with the Environmental Education centre. The Superintendent agreed to investigate the matter but emphasised that unlike FSC, Suntrap did not form part of the Epping Forest landholding.
Following a question from a Member of the Committee the Chairman confirmed that the Terms of Reference for the Ashtead Common Consultation Group allow for local Councillors to remain as members in a private context if not re-elected to their respective local authorities.
