That Council grants a
dispensation to Councillor Peter McEwan from attending meetings of
the Council for a six-month period, from the date of this meeting,
by reason of illness.
 
Reason for Decision
·        
Pursuant to Section 85 of the Local
Government Act 1972 where a Councillor fails to attend any meeting
of the Council for six months, they cease to be a Member of the
Council unless a dispensation has been granted by the
Council.
 
Alternative Options Considered
·        
To not approve the dispensation. This
was not recommended as the reasons for it were considered
reasonable and failure to grant would result in Councillor Peter
McEwan ceasing to be a member of North Northamptonshire
Council.
