Minutes:
The Chair introduced this item. He explained that following the recent review of the Constitution, it was proposed that the ‘Local Choice Functions’ (as set out in Chapter 3, Part 3, Para 2(e) of the Constitution) and which were currently allocated to Cabinet were delegated to the Director for Service Delivery as they were largely operational in nature. The functions included such matters as the inspection of the district to detect statutory nuisances, as well as the investigation of complaints regarding such, as well as the service of abatement notices and obtaining particulars of persons with an interest in land. The Monitoring Officer therefore proposed that to ensure day-to-day operational matters could be conducted efficiently, and to ensure legal and procedural requirements were met by lawful and transparent delegation of functions, that the recently amended constitution was further updated to allow for these cabinet functions to be delegated to officers.
It was proposed by Cllr T Adams, seconded by Cllr W Fredericks and
