The Democratic Services Manager presented a report (agenda item 4) to consider the Committee’s current Forward Work Programme and progress with actions. He gave an update on further actions including information circulated by Steve Jones on school meal portion sizes. On the latter topic, Councillor Dave Mackie proposed a future report due to conflicting information. He was seconded by Councillor Carolyn Preece.

Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
