Discussion about the changes in 2012/2013.
Minutes:
There was a discussion on the planned merger of Bermondsey and Rotherhithe community councils that would happen in the new municipal year 2012/13. Concerns were expressed by councillors and residents about finding suitable venues to accommodate 18 councillors on the top table and the length and community relevance of future agendas.
There was general agreement from residents and the majority of councillors that the two community councils should not be merged and that a deputation would go to Council Assembly to that effect in March. A vote was taken which supported that idea.
