| In line with the agreement to formalise appointments to outside bodies and other roles within the Council, Council is asked to consider appointing an Older People’s Champion for the 2019/20 municipal year. This is a new position proposed by the Executive Member for Adult Social Care and Health. The role of the Older People’s Champion will be as follows: (i) To assist the relevant Executive Members by advising on service issues which support and encourage active, independent and healthy lives for older people and to raise the profile of older people and their needs in the development of policy across all areas of the Council. (ii) To encourage older people to play a fuller role in shaping the policies of the Council and in designing its services. (iii) To work to promote positive images of older people as citizens, and to combat stereotyping and age discrimination. (iv) To forge and maintain links locally with the Older People's Champions Group and other organisations working with and for older people. The Executive Member for Adult Social Care and Health has proposed Councillor Ian Parker for the role of Older People’s Champion. This is not a paid position but as with other Council appointments travel expenses to the main meeting place will be paid by the Council. If an appointment is agreed, this role will in future be included within the annual Council report on appointments to outside bodies and other roles. | |
| 27 | Urgent business permitted by the Local Government Act 1972 (if any) |
| For a matter to be considered as an urgent item, the following question must be addressed: 'What harm to the public interest would flow from leaving it until the next meeting?' If harm can be demonstrated, then it is open to the Chairman to rule that it be considered as urgent. Otherwise the matter cannot be considered urgent within the statutory provisions. | |
