WOKINGHAM Borough Council’s constitution is to get a complete overhaul after councillors agreed to set up a working group to revamp it.
At a meeting held on Thursday, January 19, Cllr Gary Cowan asked his colleagues to support the proposal to start again from scratch.
“Our constitution goes back many years and it has unintentionally developed inconsistencies which no longer work well. We can iron out all the flaws that have crept into ours,” he said, adding the constitution was revised around the year 2000.
Since then they have “tinkered at the edges”, a revamp would “fit this council for the 21st century”.
The vote in favour was unanimous.
