To consider a report of the Corporate Director (Place) and Deputy Chief Executive

The Marple Neighbourhood Forum (MNF) was designated on 1 December 2016 for a period of five years and therefore the current designation will expire on 1 December 2021. The MNF had submitted information to support its re-designation.

The Council was required to undertake a public consultation on the application for re-designation and consultation took place between 18 August 2021 and 1 October 2021. Seven comments were received, as summarised in the report, none of which raised any objections or introduced significant issues.

The Scrutiny Committee is invited to note the outcome of the consultation and to support the re-designation of Marple Neighbourhood Forum, prior to its consideration by the Cabinet on 2 November 2021 and the Council meeting on 18 November 2021.
