Apologies for absence were received from Rehana Ameer, Tijs Broeke, Dr Stephanie Ellington, Soha Gawaly, Deputy Roger Chadwick, Deputy James Thomson and Alderman William Russell.

The Town Clerk reported that Deputy Robert Merrett had not received a dispensation from the Standards Committee which meant that due to the conflict arising from having a child at the School, he would have to be replaced as a Governor on the Board.

The Chairman stated that Dr Ellington’s husband was ill and the Board recorded its best wishes to him for a speedy recovery.

The Chairman congratulated Alderman Emma Edhem attending in her new capacity as Aldermen and welcomed Mary Ireland to her first meeting.
