At the last meeting of the Committee on 4 June 2020, Councillors Monk, Brook and Shoob were appointed as members of the Joint Staff Consultative Panel for the municipal year 20/21. The constitution requires that the Panel be formed of the Leader of the Council, plus one Member from each political party.

It is therefore proposed that in addition to the appointments made at the last meeting, Councillors Keen and Prater also be appointed to the Panel.
