- If a Councillor, throughout a period of six consecutive months, does not attend any meeting of the Council or any Committee Sub-Committee or Short Life Working Group of the Council, or any joint Committee to which any function of the Council has been delegated, and unless the Member has been granted leave of absence by the Council, the Executive Director with responsibility for Legal and Regulatory Support Services will inform the Council. In that event, the Council will consider whether the failure to attend was due to a reason approved by them. If they are not satisfied as to the cause of the failure, the Councillor will cease to be a Member of the Council.
