1. Apologies
An apology from Councillor Watkins
has been received.
Leave of Absences had previously
been granted to Councillor Barber and Councillor Watkins.
2. Conflict
of Interest
Members need to be vigilant to
stand aside from decision-making when a conflict arises between their role as a
Member of the Council and any private or other external interest they might
have. This note is provided as a reminder to Members to scan the agenda
and assess their own private interests and identify where they may have a
pecuniary or other conflict of interest, or where there may be perceptions of
conflict of interest.
If a Member feels they do
have a conflict of interest, they should publicly declare that at the start of
the relevant item of business and withdraw from participating in the
meeting. If a Member thinks they may have a conflict of interest,
they can seek advice from the General Counsel or the Democratic Support Manager
(preferably before the meeting).
It is noted that while Members can
seek advice and discuss these matters, the final decision as to whether a
conflict exists rests with the member.
