Information:
A review has been
undertaken on the governance arrangements for the South West Devon
Waste Partnership (SWDWP) (Joint Working Committee) in line with
the SWDWP Joint Working Agreement, which requires Torbay
Council’s two representatives to be Members of the Cabinet,
normally to include the Cabinet Member responsible for Waste, and
allows for a Member of the opposition to attend all meetings as an
observer.
It was therefore
proposed to amend the current Membership to ensure compliance with
the Joint Working Agreement.
The Group Leaders have
been consulted on this proposed change.
