Review of the Constitution
In 2005 the Avon Pension Fund Committee reviewed its constitution and the way in which its stakeholders were represented with the aim of enhancing transparency and accountability.
Having consulted its stakeholders, in March 2006 the Committee agreed the following governance structure for the Fund:
- The Committee will comprise five voting members from Bath & North East Somerset Council and two independent trustees. These independent trustees will have the same role, responsibilities and powers as the voting members.
In addition to the voting members, there is a maximum of ten non-voting members on the Committee as follows:
- 4 representing each of the unitary authorities (including Bath & North East Somerset Council)
- 4 trades union representatives (nominated by individual trades unions)
- 1 representing the education bodies
- 1 representing the resolution bodies
The voting members and independent trustees are listed above.
The non-voting members are as follows:
- Councillor John Bees representing Bristol City Council
- Councillor Jeremy Blatchford representing North Somerset Council
- Councillor Mike Drew representing South Gloucestershire Council and is also the representative for the resolution bodies
- Bill Marshall from University of the West Of England representing the Further/Higher Education bodies
- Paul Shiner representing Amicus
