Purpose

To ensure that the Council’s interests
are sufficiently represented through its appointments to these
bodies. Such appointments help to ensure that the Council’s
views are represented to local and national groups and, where the
representative has voting rights, that the Council is involved in
any decisions that may affect the people of the City of
Doncaster.
