Minutes:

Section 85 (1) of the Local Government Act 1972 requires a member of a Local Authority to attend at least one meeting of that Authority within a period of six consecutive months, in order to avoid being disqualified as a Councillor. This requirement can be waived and the time limit extended, if any failure to attend was due to a reason approved by the Authority, in advance of the six month period expiring. The Council considered such a request.

On a motion from Councillor Kevin Guy, seconded by Councillor Tim Warren, it was unanimously

RESOLVED

1. To note and approve as set out in the report.
