Agenda and minutes

The Democratic Services and Elections Manager, John Armstrong stated that neither the Chairman nor the Vice-Chairman were present this evening.  In such circumstances, the Council’s Procedure Rules stated that in the absence from a meeting of the Chairman and Vice-Chairman, a Chairman for that meeting shall be elected from among the voting members of the Committee.  The Committee was therefore asked if there was a nomination for a Chairman to be elected for this meeting.  No nominations were put forward and the Committee therefore agreed to adjourn the meeting to a later date.

Apologies were received from the following councillors; Councillor Colin Cross, Chris Barrass, David Bilbé, Angela Gunning, Liz Hogger, Marsha Moseley, Paul Spooner and Fiona White.

Councillors Graham Eyre, Jo Randall and James Walsh were in attendance as substitutes for Councillors Paul Spooner, Marsha Moseley and Angela Gunning respectively.

In accordance with the local Code of Conduct, a councillor is required to disclose at the meeting any disclosable pecuniary interest (DPI) that they may have in respect of any matter for consideration on this agenda.  Any councillor with a DPI must not participate in any discussion or vote regarding that matter and they must also withdraw from the meeting immediately before consideration of the matter.

If that DPI has not been registered, you must notify the Monitoring Officer of the details of the DPI within 28 days of the date of the meeting.

Councillors are further invited to disclose any non-pecuniary interest which may be relevant to any matter on this agenda, in the interests of transparency, and to confirm that it will not affect their objectivity in relation to that matter.

There were no disclosures of interest as the meeting had been adjourned.
