  • @reform.ispants.com Some context would be helpful here.

    When a new administration takes over a council they might do any or all of

    * change the number and/or responsibilities of portfolios
    * change the number and/or responsibilities of committees, subcommittees and working groups
    * change meeting frequencies or times (eg to accommodate a different demographic of councillors wrt things like child care)

    any or all of which might result in meetings placed in the calendar by the outgoing administration being deleted and, in due course which may not be immediate, replaced.

    • True Thinker says:

      That might be what happened. I’d like to see some of these rescheduled as they are coming up on urgent.

      • @reform.ispants.com There may be a "civic affairs" or somesuch committee meeting scheduled which will have the job of rewriting the diary, or that may be a "cabinet" job, or there may be some other mechanism.

        There is some time pressure – if there isn't a planning committee then the authority is going to start missing deadlines and the inspectorate could start getting stroppy.
