Section 85 of the Local Government Act 1972 states that “if a member of a local authority fails throughout a period of six consecutive months from the date of his last attendance to attend any meeting of the authority, he shall, unless the failure was due to some reason approved by the authority before the expiry of that period, cease to be a member of the authority.” Any exemption must be considered before the expiry of the six consecutive months absence. Council assembly is asked to consider whether to grant such an exemption.
