Agenda and minutes

UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED:

That Councillor Hughes be appointed Chairman for the meeting.

The Chairman, Councillor Hughes, welcomed those present to the meeting.

It was reported that this would be Mike Molyneux’s last meeting of the Joint Advisory Committee at Preston City Council. The Joint Advisory Committee thanked him for his excellent contribution to the work of this committee (and the wider areas) and wished him every success for the future.

Apologies for absence were submitted on behalf of Councillors Martin Boardman (Chorley Borough Council), Alistair Bradley (Chorley Borough Council), Neil Cartwright (Preston City Council), Susan Whittam (Substitute, Preston City Council), Mike Nelson (Substitute, South Ribble Borough Council) and County Councillor Michael Green (Lancashire County Council) and Heather McManus (South Ribble Borough Council).

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.

There were no declarations of interest declared.
