Content

The Cabinet has
considered proposed changes to the governance arrangements for
transport in Greater Manchester and has:-

they relate to the discharge of executive functions:-
 
(i) Agreed to the establishment of a new joint
transport committee (the Bee Network Committee) of the GMCA, the
Mayor and the ten Greater Manchester constituent councils.
 
(ii) Approved the appointment of members to
the Bee Network Committee, as set out in Appendix 1, specifically
appointing Councillor Grace Baynham to the Committee and Councillor
Mark Roberts as the substitute member.
 
(iii) Approved the Terms of Reference of the
Bee Network Committee as set out in Appendix 2.
 
(iv) Noted the delegation of the functions of
the GMCA as set out in the Terms of Reference to the Bee Network

in the Terms of Reference, attached at Appendix 2.
 
(v) Agreed the delegation of the functions of
the Local Authority Constituent Councils as set out in the terms of

Bee Network Committee as set out in Appendix 3.
 
(2) Recommended that the Council Meeting also
gives approval to the above recommendations insofar as they relate
