Members need to consider future makeup of the officer resource alongside future financial resource and planning. \n  \nIt was suggested that Committee memberships should be looked at\, a number of Members questioned if the right people were allocated to the right committees based on skills and experience rather than political alliance. A Member referred to proportional representation. \n  \nCouncillor Boles advised he would speak with the Monitoring Officer at WLDC to see if he will facilitate a workshop with members in order to discuss where the Council goes from now. \nCouncillor Boles advised he would be in touch with members once he had spoken to the Monitoring officer. \n  \n  \nRESOLVED to revoke Standing Order 10.a.xi and allow press and public to re-join the meeting. \n  \n  \n\n REPORT FROM THE LEADER OF THE COUNCIL\n\n  \nThe Leader advised of the following: – \n\nHe’d met with the new Police Inspector regarding various issues within the town\, but she gave her commitment to have a police presence across Town Council sites.
