MAIDSTONE BOROUGH COUNCIL
ANNUAL COUNCIL MEETING
18 MAY 2011
REPORT OF THE HEAD OF DEMOCRATIC SERVICES
Report Prepared by Neil Harris
1.1
Notification
has been received of a change in the size of the Political Groups on the
Council. This therefore necessitates a review of the allocation of seats on
Committees.
1.1.1
The
Constitution of the 3 Political Groups is now as follows:
Conservatives 30
Liberal Democrat 21
Independent 4
__
55
1.1.2
The
allocation on individual Committees is set out in Appendix A, whilst Appendix B
demonstrates the political balance on the various Committee sizes.
1.1.3 The allocation of seats to the Standard Committee has not been included in Appendix A because it does not need to reflect the political balance of the Authority. However, the Committee does have 6 Borough Council representatives and the political balance for 6 is 3 Conservatives, 2 Liberal Democrats and 1 Independent. Last year the representation was 3 Conservatives, 2 Liberal Democrats and 1 Independent.
