There is no summary of this meeting yet. Summaries are written once the council publishes the minutes, which are its official record of what a meeting decided. They usually appear a few weeks after the meeting.

1. 2

   Disclosures of Personal and Prejudicial Interests.

   Minute

   The Chief Legal Officer gave advice regarding the potential personal and prejudicial interests that Councillors and / Officers may have on the agenda. The Head of Democratic Services reminded Councillors and Officers that the “Disclosures of Personal and Prejudicial Interests” sheet should only be completed if the Councillor / Officer actually had an interest to declare. Nil returns were not required. Councillors and Officers were also informed that any declarable interest must be made orally and in writing on the sheet. In accordance with the provisions of the Code of Conduct adopted by the City and County of Swansea no interests were declared.

2. 3

The Leader of the Council referred to the meeting of Council held on 10 September 2020 whereby Council resolved to confer the Honorary Freedom of the City and County of Swansea to the Swansea Branch of the Merchant Navy Association. The Leader of the Largest Opposition Political Group, the Leader of the Conservative Group and the Armed Forces Councillor Champion spoke in support of the motion. Resolved that the Honorary Freedom of the City and County of Swansea be conferred on the Swansea Branch of the Merchant Navy Association. The Lord Mayor then presented the Swansea Branch of the Merchant Navy Association the Honorary Freedom Scroll, granting it the Freedom of the City and County of Swansea. Captain Roy Griffiths of the Swansea Branch of the Merchant Navy Association responded by thanking the Council for the honour.

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.
