Minutes:
The Working Party noted the additional information on Parish Councils and paid particular attention to the individual case studies.
During the discussion, Members recognised that there may be a political choice in the future for a poll to be held and as such suggested a note be added to the ‘Indicative timetable for the Community Governance Review of Torbay’. Members also felt the consultation would need to clearly explain that the review applied to the whole of Torbay not just the unparished areas.
At this juncture a motion was proposed and seconded:
‘That the Working Party agrees the principle of establishing Town Councils in Paignton and Torquay.’
The motion was declared lost.
Members continued to consider the additional information provided.
