All Members who believe they have a Disclosable Pecuniary or other Interest in any matter to be considered at the meeting must declare that interest and, having regard to the circumstances described in Section 9 and Appendix B of the Councillors’ Code of Conduct, leave the meeting while the matter is discussed.

At the outset of the meeting the Chair advised that the running order of items 5,6 and 7 shown on the published agenda had changed due to limitations of Officers’ availability for item 7. This meant that item 6 (CISC Work Programme 2024-25) would now become item 5, item 7 (Launching a Task and Finish Panel) would now become item 6 and item 5 (Discretionary Property Licensing) would now become item 7.

Councillors Ajaib, Matloob, Sabah and Tomar each declared a Pecuniary Interest on the newly numbered item 7 (Discretionary Property Licensing) on the grounds that they or a close family member were landlords in the Borough. They would therefore leave the meeting for that item.
