Decision details

The following decisions have been made:

(a)  That the Constitution of Solent Transport is revised to permit any properly appointed substitute members to attend meetings on behalf of constituent authorities rather than as currently restricted.

(b)  That Solent Transport Joint Committee support the proposed update to the Membership criteria of the Terms of Reference as set out in Annex 1 of the report and recommend the adoption of this update to the constituent Authorities of Hampshire County Council, Isle of Wight Council, Portsmouth City Council and Southampton City Council.  Subject to such agreement, Solent Transport Joint Committee recommends that the appointment of substitute Members is made accordingly.

(c)  That the meetings cycle be revised to two formal and two member briefings each year.  For clarity, no decisions will be made at those meetings, they are simply informal briefings.  Should additional formal meetings be required to consider additional business then they will be arranged and advertised in the usual manner.
