Councillors Foale and Wright returned to the room for this item.

The Executive received the proposal to confer the title of Honorary Alderman of the City of Exeter to Mr Richard Branston in recognition of his eminent services to the Council.

Members noted that the term of office for Mr Branston amounted to 24 years consecutively and therefore met the necessary length of service criteria and that Mr Branston was a diligent caseworker who had worked very hard for the benefit of his ward residents.

The Leader moved the recommendations, which was seconded by Councillor Wright, voted upon, and CARRIED unanimously.
