2.      INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

 

2.1     The Allington Millennium Green Trust has a vacancy as a Director of Allington Millenium Green Limited which is the sole corporate Trustee of the Allington Millennium Green Trust.  We have been contacted with a proposal for the Council to appoint a nominee to this role.

 

2.2     As the Allington Millennium Green Trust outside body is allocated under the Democracy and General Purposes Committee in the constitution and that is restricted to Bridge Ward Members, that is the approach outlined in this report.

 

2.3     The vacancy will be advertised to the Bridge Ward Members initially to see if there is interest, and if interest is expressed the relevant nomination information will be provided to the committee.

 

 

3.   AVAILABLE OPTIONS

 

3.1     To make an appointment of Director to Allington Millennnium Green Limited as requested by the body.  Any nominations will be made available at the meeting, and preference will be given to Bridge Ward Members in the first instance.

 

3.2     To not make an appointment of Director to Allington Millennium Green Limited, but this would not support a local outside body who have made the direct request for a Council appointee.

       To make an appointment as outlined in 3.1 above.
