EPPING FOREST & COMMONS COMMITTEE

(Gordon Warwick Haines, Alderman)

9 March 2015

Waiver of Standing Order No. 29

In accordance with Standing Order 29(2) the Chairman of the Epping Forest and Commons Committee is subject to annual re-election and is limited to serving a maximum term of three years. The current Chairman is now in his third and final year and is not currently eligible to seek election for a fourth year in this position. The Deputy Chairman was elected to this position in April 2014 but, due to a number of external factors, would be unable to take the chair this year should they be elected. No other existing member of the Committee has expressed an interest in standing for this position. The Chairman of the Committee has indicated that, subject to the Court’s approval, he would be willing to stand for a fourth and final year.

We therefore recommend that Standing Order No.29(2) be waived in respect of the Epping Forest & Commons Committee for the ensuing year and submit a separately printed and circulated report thereon.
