Minutes:
Cabinet considered a report which set out the request from Judge Holt that the Borough Council reinstate the post of Honorary Recorder of King’s Lynn. The position was purely ceremonial and would be held by a Judge that sat most regularly and was senior in the town. The role of the post was to strengthen links between the town and the Judiciary and they would be invited to attend the main Civic events.
Under Standing Order 34 Councillor Mellish asked if re-establishing the role would help support the Motion put forward to Council to save the County Court in King’s Lynn from closure. This was confirmed.
