Response by the Cabinet Member: Firstly, can I apologise for the delay in responding. It is not our intention to delay responses. As you are aware we have focused on the Corporate Plan in the first instance and hopefully you have felt fully engaged in that process. There are no intentions to keep any members in the dark around the capital programme, and whilst these meetings are important, I would encourage all members to liaise with the highways managers to discuss the capital programme in their wards. You will also have had the opportunity as Leader of your group to engage through the Financial Planning update in the process of managing the economic context we now find ourselves in as an authority. I totally agree the highway depot meetings need to be reinstated and have asked for the Head of Service to commence these from the beginning of November 2022. We wanted to focus on Waste & Recycling in the first instance and were very aware that many new councillors were attending induction meetings and finding their feet after the election. In the meantime if you do have any specific queries I would encourage you to liaise with Clive Jones who can run through the Capital programme for your ward. Kind regards Cllr Jackie Charlton
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.
