Central Bedfordshire Council has agreed in principle to keep the current executive model which sees a council leader and a cabinet in place rather than a directly elected mayor.
At the last Full Council Meeting, members agreed with an Executive recommendation to pass a resolution by 31 December 2010 to adopt the ‘new style’ arrangements that have been in place at Central Bedfordshire Council since its inception in April 2009.
Under the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 the council is required to set out its executive arrangements which will come into effect three days after the local elections in May 2011.
When the adaption is complete the council’s constitution will be amended to reflect an extension of the leader’s term in office to four years.
Residents can still pass on their views about executive arrangements by emailing consultations@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk or writing to Freepost RSJS GBBZ SRZT, Consultation, Central Bedfordshire Council, Priory House, Monks Walk, Chicksands, Shefford, SG17 5TQ, by Monday 15 November.
