Minutes of the Previous Meeting

The committee is scheduled to consider the minutes from its previous meeting, which took place on 3 June 2026.

  1. Disclosable Pecuniary Interests (DPIs) relate to a councillor's employment, sponsorship, contracts, and wider financial interests, including those of their spouse or civil partner, or anyone living with them as such. Other Registrable Interests (ORIs) include appointments to outside bodies, membership of charities, trade unions, lobbying groups, voluntary organisations, and educational institutions. Councillors must declare these interests and may need to leave the room and not participate in discussions or votes on matters where they have a DPI.
