To consider the appointment of three representative trustees to Laleham Charities – Village Hall and Recreation Grounds.

The Committee considered nominations for representative trustees to Laleham Charities Village Hall and Recreation Grounds. Six nominations were presented to the Committee.

It was proposed by Councillor Bateson and seconded by Councillor Mitchell that Bob Parry, Ken Williams and Kevin Rowell be appointed as representative trustees to Laleham Charities Village Hall and Recreation Grounds.

The Committee raised that a councillor had previously been elected as a representative trustee and suggested that an additional councillor trustee be appointed. The Monitoring Officer advised that this was prevented by the Charity’s constitution as the number of trustees was limited to six. The Committee requested that the history of councillor appointments to the charity be reviewed.

The Committee resolved to appoint Bob Parry, Ken Williams and Kevin Rowell as representative trustees to Laleham Charities Village Hall and Recreation Grounds.

To consider the appointment of representative trustees to Laleham Charities – Village Hall and Recreation Grounds following confirmation from the Charity of the below nominations:

Richard Stokes, Mavis Duncan, and Geoff Want for a four year period ending December 2026.

Council were advised that this item would be referred to the Administrative Committee as the Terms of Reference for this committee stated that “they are responsible for making appointments to Outside Bodies which are not reserved to Council” and would be discussed at the next meeting of this Committee.
