Large table
Is this very large table really necessary? Possible ways to avoid it would be some combination of: Ehrenkater (talk) 13:44, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) Remove the columns for the earlier years which have no entries
 * 2) Revert to the previous format
 * 3) Replace e.g. "Member" by "M" etc, preferably with a different background colour for each class of member, and make the headers vertical to save space.


 * Will probably split into three, by mayoralty, once it is all filled in. MRSC (talk) 14:32, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
 * That sounds like a lot of extra work. Also it is less helpful to the user to have the information split between three separate places. Ehrenkater (talk) 07:36, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Table is way too wide. Doesn't fit in the article main area. You should see how this looks on a small mobile screen, accessibility issues. The dates can be combined into a single column.
 * For the "Cllr Liaquat Ali MBE, JP" row, you could have all of the date columns in a single cell:
 * 00/08 - Member
 * 08/09 - Vice-Chair
 * 09/16 - Member
 * Tables that are too tall are always better than ones that are too wide. If the layout being like a timeline is absolutely necessary, then split it into 10 year tables or smaller. Jroberson108 (talk) 16:07, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Even better, you could split it up into three tables: Chair, Vice-Chair, and Member, with one column for the dates. Jroberson108 (talk) 16:20, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Vice-Chair
This is a reminder that Vice-Chair was not given in the sources used for years 2003/04 to 2007/08 so needs to be found separately. MRSC (talk) 07:29, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Only need to find this for 03/04 now. MRSC (talk) 08:06, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
