2.1         Cabinet noted the report and recommendations.

Councillor Lane as Chair of Overview and Scrutiny introduced the report and thanked the Scrutiny Support Officer and Councillor Sargeant as Chair of the Task Panel for their support.

Councillor Lane outlined the recommendations and noted that the date of the final recommendation 2.1.10 was likely to be postponed.  In relation to 2.1.7, Councillor Larratt pointed out that the Mayor was also President of the Sea Cadets during the year of office.

Councillor Birch questioned how the mayoralty would integrate with the town and parish councils and asked whether the town council would have control of the charitable trust if this were set up.  These were questions which would need to be considered in due course.

Councillor Larratt pointed out that the Mayor would be for the whole of the borough area, not just the town.

The Leader and the Deputy Leader considered the report to be excellent, and the recommendations were noted.

RESOLVED:

2.1         Cabinet noted the report and recommendations.
