Agenda item

The following Members declared pecuniary interests in respect of agenda item 5, Lease Enforcement, as they are Long Leaseholders of properties on the Barbican Estate: 

Deputy David Bradshaw

Deputy John Tomlinson

Mrs Mary Durcan

Mr Mark Bostock

Mr William Pimlott

The above Members would therefore neither speak or vote on this item.

In respect of a question submitted in advance of the meeting, which would be taken in the non public part of the agenda, at item 24, Ann Holmes, the Chairman, declared an interest by virtue of her position as the Chairman of COLPA.  The Deputy Chairman would take the Chair for this item.

Members asked if, in future, the Town Clerk could remind Members of the need to seek dispensations, as had been necessary at the June meeting, when there had been a lot of new Members attending their first meeting of this Committee.  The Town Clerk agreed and reminded Members of a training course on the Members’ Code of Conduct which was being run in January which would cover this and other aspect of the Code.  The  Chairman and Town Clerk reminded Members that the onus was upon them to make declarations and seek dispensations and they should contact the Town Clerk or Comptroller and City Solicitor if they had any queries.
