    The Committee received the report of the Head of Legal and Democratic Services (copy filed with signed minutes).

    (iv) Town Councillor Nigel Dodman (New Radnor Community Council) – elected by the Town and Community Councils in Radnorshire.

     

    2. That the terms of office of the 5 Independent (Lay) Members be for the remainder of their terms of office as Independent Members on the main Standards Committee.

     

    3. That the terms of office of the County Councillor and Town and Community Councillors be for the maximum term permitted by the existing regulations or by any amending regulations (currently a maximum of five years) or until they cease to be Councillors or resign whichever shall first occur.

     

    4. That a postal election is undertaken for the Brecknockshire Town and Community Councils representative due to the nominated member having already served the relevant term of office.

    To constitute the Standards Community Sub-Committee.
