Roundshaw Community Board - Changes

Another thing not discussed at Strategy Committee was the fact that the composition of the Roundshaw Community Board, will change after transfer to:

8 Tenant reps (up by 2)
2 Council reps (down by 2)
2 Housing Association Reps (down by 2)
2 Independent Reps (up by 2)

Whilst the increase in tenant reps is very welcome, I think there should have been some debate in Sutton Council on the other changes, especially as the Board was supposedly the equivalent of a Local Council Forum for the area it covers.

The actual responsibilities of the Board, also seem very limited compared to the role of the ALMO Board and the opportunity to debate that issue did not occur either.

More demonstration of the weaknesses of the single party Strategy Committee.
