To elect a Deputy Chairman in accordance with Standing Order 30.

Following the resignation of Alderman Robert Hall as Deputy Chairman of the Committee, an election for the post was held in accordance with Standing Order 30. The Town Clerk read out a list of names of Members eligible to serve and Deputy Alex Deane, being the only Member expressing his willingness to serve, was duly appointed Deputy Chairman of the Committee for the remainder of the municipal year.

The Chairman welcomed Deputy Deane to the Deputy Chairmanship, and noted that a formal Vote of Thanks to Alderman Hall would be delivered by Mrs Barbara Newman at the meeting of the West Ham Park Committee later that day.
