Issue - meetings

The minutes are noted.

It was pointed out that the issue was to ‘note’ the minutes rather than ‘approve’ them, as listed on the Agenda.

Councillor Clarke addressed Cabinet highlighting the large number of declarations of interest recorded in the minutes and explaining his problem with accepting so many representatives from different local authorities undertaking joint arrangements. He felt the minutes did not give an impression of consensus amongst the representative bodies over the consultation for the emergent Joint Core Strategy and it was with regret that he noted the minutes.

Councillor Mildren addressed Cabinet and commented that the minutes did not give details of the location or starting time of the meeting, so there was no clear indication of how long it took for the decisions to have been made.  He was also concerned that the minutes did not record the officer presence.

RESOLVED

That the minutes be noted.
