To consider a report recommending the appointment of former councillors as Honorary Aldermen in recognition of their service to the Council. Minutes: The Head of Paid Service introduced the report and explained that Council may confer the title of Honorary Alderman on persons who it considers have rendered eminent services to the Authority in their past roles as councillors.
Historically, Council has conferred the title of Honorary Alderman upon its past members in recognition of both long service and significant contribution to the Authority’s affairs.
The longstanding local criteria which has been applied when conferring the title of Honorary Alderman is that the person has at least 16 years’ service or is a past Mayor and Chairman of the Council
A number of former Councillors fall within the criteria and have been nominated by the Group Leaders.
The Head of Paid Service explained that once agreed by Council, their appointments will be recognised as part of the Inauguration of the Mayor ceremony at the Town Hall on Wednesday 18 May 2016.
RESOLVED THAT
The title of Honorary Alderman be conferred on former Councillors :
