Summary

1.1 This report makes a recommendation in respect of the County Council's appointment of an elected Member to the Rushmoor Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) and Rushmoor Crime and Disorder Partnership (CDRP).

1 Background

1.1 The duty in the Local Government Act 2000 for local authorities to prepare community strategies with partners has been progressed in Hampshire, through the establishment of Local Strategic Partnerships in each District, and a Strategic Partnership for the County (HSP), consistent with Government guidelines.

1.2 The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 led to the establishment of a statutory Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships (CDRPs) in each District (often termed "Community Safety Partnerships") which often have a close link to the more recently formed LSPs.

1.3 The previous Elected Member for Community Development and External Affairs has been supported through the appointment of elected Member representatives on each of these partnerships, alongside supporting Officers. The elected Member representatives for a District LSP have previously been consistent with the CDRP representative.

1.4 All district LSPs/CDRPs have steering group meetings which require HCC Member and officer representation, usually the terms of reference for these partnerships require the attendance of 1 Member and 1 officer.

1.5 In September 2005, Members were appointed to these partnerships, however due to Cllr Baulk standing down as the Rushmoor representative it is now necessary to appoint a replacement Member for the Rushmoor LSP and CDRP.

2 Recommendation

2.1 To appoint Councillor Kimber to support the Executive Member for Community Development and External Affairs on the Rushmoor LSP and the CDRP
