Independent Persons are appointed for a
maximum of four years, and the Council must have three Independent
Persons in position at any time. John Thompson was appointed as an
Independent Person in July 2019, with his term ending on 18 July
2023. It is necessary to extend Mr Thompson’s appointment now
in order for the Council to then undertake a full recruitment
process for all three Independent Persons during 2023/24 for the
next four-year terms.
