Paragraph 1 Membership
Each constituent council must appoint one of its elected members to be a member of the Combined County Authority.
Hampshire County Council must appoint one further elected member to be a member of the Combined County Authority.
Each constituent council must appoint one named elected member (“substitute member”) for each member appointed by that council under sub-paragraphs (1) or (2), any of whom may act as a member of the Combined County Authority in the absence of a member appointed under sub-paragraphs (1) or (2).
In this Schedule, except in paragraph 2(1), “member” means a member appointed under sub-paragraphs (1) or (2), and a substitute member where that substitute member is acting in place of a member appointed under sub-paragraphs (1) or (2).
A person ceases to be a member or substitute member of the Combined County Authority if—
they cease to be an elected member of the constituent council that appointed them, or
the constituent council that appointed the member terminates their appointment.
A person may resign as a member or substitute member of the Combined County Authority by written notice served on the proper officer of the constituent council that appointed them, and the resignation takes effect on receipt of that notice.
Where a member or substitute member of the Combined County Authority’s appointment ceases by virtue of sub-paragraph (5) or (6), the constituent council that made the appointment must, as soon as practicable, give written notice of that fact to the Combined County Authority and appoint another of its elected members in that person’s place.
The term “proper officer” in this paragraph, in relation to a body and any purpose or area, means an officer appointed by the body for that purpose or area.
