    Minutes:

    The Head of Democratic Services presented a report on the annual review of the Council’s political balance.

     

    The Head of Democratic Services noted that Councillor Freya Bentham, Member for Harlech / Talsarnau, had tendered her resignation since publishing the report, and he intended to report further on any change to the political balance as a consequence of this to the Council in July, after a by-election had been held.

     

    He also acknowledged that the formula for allocating seats on committees was complicated, but this was a statutory system that was implemented consistently across Welsh Councils.  As such, the Democracy Team and the Communications Team were in the process of producing a short video to assist everyone to better understand the process.
