Cabinet agreed that the proposals for the Norfolk Coast Partnership be changed to Councillors S Squire and de Whalley (Sub).

It was noted that the Norfolk Police and Crime Panel was awaiting confirmation from NCC regarding the nomination to be put forward.

Under standing order 34 Councillor Blunt expressed disappointment that he had only received the outside bodies nominations list that day. 

Under standing order 34 Councillor Sandell questioned whether the Freebridge Community Housing strategic body should be on the list, it was confirmed that is was a meeting between the Council and Freebridge so was not an outside body.

Under standing order 34 Councillor Dickinson commented that the Hunstanton Advisory Group did not have representation by the Cabinet and therefore would not have a degree of influence at the Council.  Councillor Parish confirmed that any comments made by the ward members would be listened to.  Councillor Ring confirmed that he had already had informal meetings and discussions with the HAG.
