Members and co-opted Members of
the Council are reminded that, in
accordance with the
Council’s Code of Conduct and the statutory
provisions of the Localism Act,
they are required to consider in advance
of each meeting whether they
have a disclosable pecuniary interest
(DPI), an other registrable
interest (ORI) or a non-registrable interest
(NRI) in relation to any matter
on the agenda. If advice is needed,
Members should contact the
Monitoring Officer in good time before the
meeting.
If any Member or co-opted
Member of the Council identifies a DPI or
ORI which they have not already
registered on the Council’s register of
interests or which requires
updating, they should complete the
disclosure form which can be
obtained from Democratic Services at any
time, copies of which will be
available at the meeting for return to the
Monitoring Officer.
Members and co-opted Members
are required to disclose any DPIs and
ORIs at the meeting.
·
Where the matter relates to a DPI they may not participate in any
discussion or vote on the matter and must not stay in the
meeting
unless granted a dispensation.
·
Where the matter relates to an ORI they may not vote on the
matter unless granted a dispensation.
·
Where a Member or co-opted Member has an NRI which
directly
relates to
their financial interest or wellbeing, or that of a
relative
or close
associate, they must disclose the interest at the
meeting,
may not
take part in any discussion or vote on the matter and
must not
stay in the meeting unless granted a dispensation.
Where a matter affects the NRI of a Member or
co-opted
Member, section 9 of Appendix B of the Code of Conduct
sets
out
the test which must be applied by the Member to decide
whether disclosure is required.
The Chair will invite Members
to make their disclosure orally at the
commencement of Agenda item 3,
to be recorded in the minutes.
