Declarations of Interest
To provide an opportunity for Members and Officers to declare any disclosable pecuniary and non-pecuniary interests in any item on the agenda.
Minutes:
The Mayor reminded members of the dispensation within the Cheshire East Member Code of Conduct which allowed them to take part and vote on Community Governance Review matters in which they had disclosable pecuniary and prejudicial interests without having to declare an interest. Legal advice on the matter had been circulated to Members prior to the meeting and attached to the minutes is a list of Cheshire East Borough Councillors to whom this advice applied as they were also Town or Parish Councillors.
In the interest of openness the following declarations of interest were made:
Councillor S Carter declared he was an unpaid director of The Green in the Corner, a community interest company, which had been a recipient of the covid emergency grants referenced in the report for Item 10.
Councillor S Akers Smith declared she was the cycling and walking champion and had been working with town and parish councils to look at connectivity around the borough.
