Agenda item

Report of the Town Clerk.

The subcommittee received a report on the panel of independent persons.

In response to questions, Members were informed that the panel are only paid when they are working and that they declare their interests, as published on the Corporation’s webpage.

The subcommittee raised concerns that some cases were dismissed as they did not meet the assessment material, and that all complaints should be acknowledged. Concerns were also raised about the severity of sanctions and their implementations. 

Members were reminded of the importance and legal obligation to follow and work with the Court-approved process.

RESOLVED, that the report be noted.
