016. URGENT BUSINESS BROUGHT FORWARD AT THE DISCRETION OF THE CHAIRMAN
A question had been raised, via the S.L.C.C., by a town clerk as to the admissible dual-hatting of councillors who attend planning meetings at both borough and town level and whether this should invoke declarations of personal and prejudicial interest. There had been several replies from other clerks on how their councils viewed this and the relevant Emails were tabled. The Committee considered that the system in place whereby no councillor who was on the Borough’s Planning Committee would sit on the Town Council’s Plans Committee dealt with this situation.
