Apologies and substitutions
Minutes:
It was noted that, since preparation of the agenda, changes had been made by Annual Council as follows:
Councillor Green appointed chair of the committee
Councillor Pendlebury appointed vice-chair.
Apologies were submitted on behalf of Councillors Bray, Cartwright, J Crooks, W Crooks, Harris and Lynch as a result of it having been agreed with the chair and group leaders that only sufficient members to achieve a quorum would attend in order to adjourn the substantive items of business on the agenda.
