A Member of the Panel referred to paragraph 3.3 in the report, he asked for the removal of the words “where appropriate” in relation to Ward Members being notified of the response to petitions.  The Democratic Services Manager responded that Ward Members were always kept informed about the status of petitions and confirmed that the words “where appropriate” could easily be removed in future reports.

Resolved: That the words “where appropriate” in relation to Ward Members being notified of the response to petitions be removed in future reports and replaced with words to the effect that Ward Members will always be informed about the status of petitions effecting their area or originating in their area.
