Report CSD18169

The terms of office of three of the Council’s six representatives on the Beckenham Parochial Charities were due to expire on 24^th January 2019. The views of the charity had been sought on whether it wished these representatives to continue to serve, and the Charity had requested that Cllr Russell Mellor and Mr Robin Mitchell should be re-appointed. The third representative, Mrs Maureen Jessiman, had indicated that she wished to step down, and the charity had proposed Mrs Peggy Duffin, a long-standing co-opted trustee, to fill the vacancy.    

Councillor Angela Wilkins suggested that as the charity’s work also covered the Penge area, a Penge and Cator ward councillor should be invited to attend.

RESOLVED that

(1) Councillor Russell Mellor, Mr Robert Mitchell and Mrs Peggy Duffin be appointed to the Beckenham Parochial Charities for the four year term starting on 24^th January 2019.

(2) The Committee’s thanks to Mrs Maureen Jessiman for her work in support of the Beckenham Parochial Charities be recorded.

(Councillors Vanessa Allen and Angela Wilkins requested that their abstentions be recorded.)
