To consider a report by the Elections and Democratic Services Manager proposing to confer the title of Honorary Alderman to two former councillors. Minutes: By way of a report by the Elections and Democratic Services Manager (a copy of which is appended in the Minute Book) the Council was reminded that they had agreed to introduce titles of Honorary Aldermen and Honorary Alderwomen for current and future Members of the Council who cumulatively had served a minimum of 12 years as an elected Councillor on the District Council.
The Chair invited former Councillors D A Giles and R G Tuplin to join the meeting, whereby each were invited to approach the dais. The Chair and Executive Leader each presented them with a certificate in recognition of the title of Alderman and insignia respectively to be worn on occasions when required to attend civic functions on behalf of the Council.
Following tributes to Mr Giles and Mr Tuplin for the contribution they had made to public life and the community of Huntingdonshire, the former Members thanked the Council for their awards. Whereupon, it was
RESOLVED
that, in sincere appreciation of distinguished public service, the title of Honorary Alderman be conferred upon former Councillors D A Giles and R G Tuplin in accordance with Section 249 of the Local Government Act 1972.
The meeting ended at 7.22pm.
