Agenda, decisions and minutes

The Chairman, Councillor Jon Hesketh, welcomed members of the public to the meeting and introduced the committee and explained the proceedings and the role of its members.

Apologies for absence were submitted on behalf of Councillors Renee Blow, Mal Donoghue and Jim Marsh.

Members are requested to indicate at this stage in the proceedings any items on the agenda in which they intend to declare an interest. Members are reminded that if the interest is a Disclosable Pecuniary Interest (as defined in the Members’ Code of Conduct) they must leave the room for the whole of that item. If the interest is not a Disclosable Pecuniary Interest, but is such that a member of the public could reasonably regard it as being so significant that it is likely that it would prejudice their judgment of the public interest (as explained in the Code of Conduct) then they may make representations, but then must leave the meeting for the remainder of the item.
