There is no summary of this meeting yet. One is written once the council publishes the minutes. The agenda and papers are below.
Councillor Fouweather asked: Can the cabinet member outline how she plans to deal with pavement parking especially in areas of high-density housing where parking spaces are at a premium so that she can meet WG legislation? Councillor R Howells responded: Unlike other parts of the UK, in Wales, councils do not have powers to enforce pavement parking, except where there are wider carriageway restrictions (i.e. double yellow lines). The offences of driving on the footway and obstruction of the footway remain criminal and, as such, can only be enforced by police. If the councillor has a specific area of concern, the parking enforcement team can distribute flyers alerting drivers of the dangers of obstruction, but this is not enforceable by the council and is not a core activity.
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.
