Minutes:
Councillor G Holland asked Trustees to consider the position of former Mayors of the City of Durham being involved in Mayoral Services as the present level of support received by the Mayor at events have diminished.
Councillor G Holland felt that former Mayors and Durham County Council Alderman that have served as Charter Trustees should be offered, as of right, procession at appropriate civic events as they have served the community for their year in office and have earned recognition. He suggested that gowns previously used by officers of the former Durham City Council be used at such events.
Members agreed that former Mayors should be involved in Mayoral Services and discussed the order of procession, the number of Durham County Council Aldermen that have served as Charter Trustees and resources that would be required.
Resolved:-
