132 Amendment of Council Constitution - Trading Standards Service pdf icon PDF 23 KB

Minutes:

The Board considered a report of the Strategic Director, Policy and Resources, which sought approval for changes to the scheme of delegation in the Council’s Constitution, relating to the transfer of the Trading Standards Service from Warrington Borough Council.

 

The Board was reminded that at its meeting on 19 September 2013, it had resolved to return the Trading Standards Service to Halton Borough Council. The new arrangement would take effect from 1 April 2014. It was reported that, as the Constitution currently delegated related powers and duties to Warrington Borough Council, this would need to change to reflect the return of the service to Halton.

 

Appendix 1 set out the proposed changes, which did not extend the nature or subject matter; however, the opportunity had been taken to simplify current wording and where appropriate, to avoid duplication.

 

Reason(s) For Decision

 

The Constitution must be changed to ensure that Halton can lawfully discharge the functions of the Trading Standards service from 1 April 2014.

 

Alternative Options Considered and Rejected

 

All options considered and rejected were detailed in the report.

 

Implementation Date

 

1 April 2014.

 

RESOLVED: That Council be recommended to approve the amendments to the Council’s Constitution, as set out in Appendix 1 attached to the report.
