The City Council considered a report of the Chief Executive which set out the details of nominations for Honorary Alderman.  The following nomination had been received and was presented for approval:

 

Tony Skipper

 

Tony Skipper served as a Councillor for 22 years, representing Earlsdon Ward from 1995 to 1999 and then Radford Ward from 2001 to 2019.  He was Lord Mayor in 2017/18. His many roles included Cabinet Member for Area Co-ordination and Leisure, Arts and Sport, Deputy Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, Chair of Scrutiny Co-ordination Committee and Chair of Audit and Procurement Committee.

 

It was proposed by Councillor M Mutton, seconded by Councillor P Hetherton, and resolved unanimously that the title of Honorary Alderman be conferred on Tony Skipper as a past member of the Council in recognition of giving eminent services to the Council and the City for at least 15 years, and that a copy of this resolution, under the common seal, be presented to mark the conferment.

 

The Lord Mayor, on behalf of the City Council, presented Mr Skipper with a badge and framed certificate to commemorate his appointment and he signed the ‘Roll of Honorary Aldermen’.  Honorary Alderman Skipper then gave an acceptance speech.
