Original consultation
We want your views on proposed changes to extend job sharing arrangements for elected members in principal councils to include non-executive roles.
Consultation description
Section 58 of, and Schedule 7 to, the Local Government and Elections (Wales) Act 2021 (“the Act”) amends the Local Government Act 2000 to require principal councils with executive arrangements to make provision enabling 2 or more councillors to share office on that executive, including the office of leader of the executive.
We are proposing to introduce regulations to also allow job-sharing of certain non-executive roles within principal councils.
