Councillor A Barry referred to the ‘New Constitution’ report and referred to the need for change and the need to be engaged in the process and was therefore minded to defer this item. The Monitoring Officer then gave advice in relation to this. Another Member then supported deferral of the item and that further discussion take place with the Monitoring Officer and Political Leaders together with Training and Workshops for all Members. After consideration by Members it was agreed that a Meeting with the Monitoring Officer be arranged together with further Training Sessions and Workshops for Members and that until these events have taken place that the item be deferred.

Bereavement The Mayor extended condolences to Councillor C Jones on the death of her husband.
No Communications were received from Their Worship the Mayor.
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.
Declarations are read from the minutes once they are published.
Lists the council's current councillors only. Co-opted members, officers and former councillors aren't shown.
