FREEDOM OF THE BOROUGH

To consider the following Motion of which notice has been given in accordance with Standing Orders:

 

‘That in accordance with the provisions of Section 249 of the Local Government Act 1972, this Council confers the title of Freeman of the Borough on Baroness Taylor of Stevenage who has rendered 25 years eminent service as a Councillor, including 16 as the Council’s Leader, selflessly dedicating herself to both the town and the Council. 

 

Baroness Taylor’s contributions at County, regional and national levels were recognised when she was asked to join the House of Lords in 2022, and she now holds the role of Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.
