Report of the Town Clerk.

The Committee considered a report of the Town Clerk, inviting Members to make their appointments tovarious Consultative Committees and Groups for 2020/21.

The Committee agreed that the Consultative Committees and Groups would continue with their membership for the previous year with Verderers elected in January appointed in the place of previously elected Verderers. The Director of Open Spaces explained that that Epping Forest Joint Consultative Committee was oversubscribed with relation to the agreement with the Forest Skills Centre and that only three Members should be appointed to the Committee.

The Town Clerk informed the Committee that two Members had stated their interest to be appointed as the local observer on the Open Spaces & City Gardens Committee and therefore the Committee would move to vote on this appointment. A vote on this appointment was conducted with nine votes in favour of Deputy Phillip Woodhouse and three in favour of Jeremy Simons. Deputy Phillip Woodhouse was therefore approved as the Epping Forest and Commons Committee appointed local observer on the Open Spaces & City Gardens Committee.
