The Executive Member considered a report that informed her of the current position with regard to vacancies for Local Authority (LA) seats on governing bodies, listed current nominations for those vacancies (detailed in Annex 1 to the report) and requested the appointment or reappointment of the listed nominees.   It was noted that the report had omitted to include Councillor Merrett’s political affiliation to the Labour Party.

The Executive Member was pleased to note the authority’s success in recruiting LA governors and that vacancy rates remained very low. She expressed her thanks for the work carried out by governors and her appreciation that a number of governors who had completed their term of office were willing to continue to serve on the Governing Body.
