Mr C Clare and Mr M Cole gave an update on the use of the Councillor prefix in the Buckinghamshire Council minutes of the Community Boards. The main points raised were:

·       The idea behind the suggestion for not using prefix titles with the Community Board.

·       It was a way of coming away the tiered system of the Council and to become more level pegged out in the community.

·       Mr Cole felt as the democratically elected member of Buckingham Town Council, this should be represented correctly.

·       Mr Clare advised the issue would be taken away and discussed overall for all the Community Boards, where a decision would be made.

·       Feedback would be passed on as soon as a decision was made.
