Appointments to committees 2019-20

Minutes:

The Council considered a report on the appointment of councillors to committees for the municipal year 2019-20.  Councillors noted the political composition of the Council following the Borough Council elections on 2 May 2019, and the details of each of the political groups on the Council, details of which were set out in the Order Paper circulated at the meeting.
