Councillor Fouweather asked: Can the leader tell me what enquiries have taken place with other local authorities with regards sharing resources and in particular the sharing of senior officers. Councillor Batrouni responded: We have a range of services shared with other Councils. Some are short term, but many are long-term. Current shared services and collaborations include: • Gwent Crematorium • Regional Adoption Service • Regional Out of Hours emergency service for children and adults • Waste disposal - Project Gwyrdd • Treatment of municipal food waste • Trading standards - NCC host a range of all Wales activities • Parking enforcement administration • Digital and IT – SRS • Internal Audit – SWAP • Provision of payroll services – NCC sharing with Blaenau Gwent • Some info services – range of LAs Senior officers at all levels also work collaboratively with senior officers at other local authorities across a range of partnerships to discuss and develop opportunities for collaboration and sharing of resources and officers where appropriate.
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.
