The Monitoring Officer presented a report which drew attention to the fact that the Council had included within its Corporate Strategy for 2023 – 2027 the following:

Bring forward proposals to enable the King’s Lynn Advisory and Consultative Committee (KLACC) to become a decision-making body.

KLACC had been consulted at two public meetings on these proposals and supported them.

A draft Terms of Reference for an Area Committee (Appendix 1) was attached to the report.

As Chair of the KLACC Councillor Rust reported that the Committee were extremely pleased with the approach proposed which members did not want to be at the expense of additional cost to residents.

Under standing order 34, Councillor Ware expressed how pleased she and the Committee were with the proposal and how quickly it had come to Cabinet. 

Cabinet spoke in support of the proposal, and Councillor Morley suggested it should be involved in the Town Improvement Plan consultative process.
