In accordance with the Council’s Constitution, Members are asked to declare any personal or prejudicial interest they may have in any matter which is to be considered at this meeting.

There were no declarations of interest.

Agreed to exclude the public and press for the remainder of the meeting, as the business was confidential.

Received and noted the Monitoring Officer’s report which sought views on pre-hearing issues in relation to a complaint against a councillor.

2.  to have the hearing tape recorded;

3.  for the hearing to take place at the earliest opportunity in late February/March 2010 at the Civic Centre on a date to be agreed, and to commence at 9am.
