Mrs Newman and Mrs Nash, both resident members, had been advised not to apply for dispensations, in respect of car park charges, as they were not car owners and had no intention of becoming one in the future.

 

Members were also reminded of the importance of submitting timely applications, which were neither too wide nor vague, and the Chairman suggested that Members work together, across the two wards, to ensure consistent applications, which were more likely to be granted.  A Member, who is also a Member of the Standards Committee, suggested that the bureaucracy could be simpler and the timespan between Members receiving reports and the date of the Committee could be unhelpful.  He had raised this matter with the Chairman of the Standards Committee and, in the interim, Members were advised to speak to the Monitoring Officer if they were unclear.
