Report of the Director of Markets & Consumer Protections.

The Committee considered a report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection in respect of membership and representation of the Cross River Partnership (CRP).

The Chair took the opportunity to place on record the Committee’s thanks to Deputy Wendy Hyde for her significant efforts and commitments over the past five years.

It was suggested that Deputy Keith Bottomley be appointed to the now vacant role, with it observed he would also be particularly suitable given his complementary roles as Chair of Port Health & Environmental Services and Vice Chairman of Policy and Resources, in view of the need to tie oversight of the activity undertaken through the Partnership more effectively into the broader pan-London activity overseen by Policy and Resources.

RESOLVED: That:-

1.    Deputy Keith Bottomley be appointed to replace Deputy Wendy Hyde on the CRP Board.

2. Further membership of CRP be approved, comprising three annual payments of £10,000 in the financial years 2021/22, 2022/23 and 2023/24, to be met from the Air Quality Budget.
