Report of the Assistant Director of Scrutiny and Democratic Services attached.

Council considered a report of the Assistant Director of Scrutiny and Democratic Services that sought approval of appointments to the Licensing and Public Safety Committee and Leyland Festival Committee.

Following the resignation of Sarah Whittaker as a Councillor for South Ribble Borough Council, there was a vacancy for a conservative group member. As Councillor Gareth Watson was a Conservative Councillor, the Leader of the Opposition would like to formally appoint him to this role.

The Council were recently contacted by the Chair of Leyland Festival Committee to request that Councillor Mick Titherington, in his role of Cabinet Member for Health, Wellbeing and Leisure be formally appointed to the Committee. This role will provide a vital link in updating Council members on progress and monitoring of the event.

It was proposed by Councillor Paul Foster, seconded by Councillor Margaret Smith and subsequently

RESOLVED (Unanimously):

1.    That the appointment of Councillor Gareth Watson to the Licensing and Public Safety Committee be approved.

2.    That the appointment of Councillor Mick Titherington to the Leyland Festival Committee be approved.
